About SNS

How we work

SNS has three channels for supplying knowledge:

Research. SNS translates current social research into concrete advise for leading decision-makers in politics and business. The questions are formulated in dialogue with SNS members in business and public administration. The answers are given by researchers and are independent and based on facts.

Meetings. SNS is a meeting point for people with different backgrounds who are interested in society; decision makers from the private and the public sector, researchers, journalists and politicians. Our seminars, networks and educations contribute to an increased understanding and exchange among business, politics, public administration and research.

Books. SNS Förlag publishes research reports, other books aimed at stimulating policy debate and debate books with a focus on important questions in society.
