Internationalization is both necessary and important for a research institute. NILU has extensive experience in coordinating international research projects and is involved in a long list of international assignments. About 40 percent of the institute's total activities originate from international assignments.
NILU is actively involved in EU’s framework programmes for research. It also co-ordinates the Programme for Monitoring and Evaluation of the Long-Range Transmission of Air Pollutants in Europe (EMEP). In addition, NILU plays a leading international role in collecting and storing measurement data from atmospheric research and monitoring programmes
