The establishment of the V\u00f5ro Institute was first suggested by the active advocates of the V\u00f5ro movement, which emerged in the late 1980s. By the mid-1990s it was clear that the movement required state support to be viable and could not be sustained exclusively on a voluntary basis. The V\u00f5ro Institute was established by the Estonian Government in 1995 as a state research and development agency. Today the V\u00f5ro Institute is administered by the Estonian Ministry of Culture<\/a>. Its activities are regulated by The Law on the Regulation of Scientific and Development Activities and its statute.
