OECD on Sweden’s Research Landscape

The OECD’s directorate for Science, Technology and Innovation has identified a number of future challenges for research policy, internationally and in Sweden. The report presents approaches from countries around the world and presents recommendations on how these should influence research policy in Sweden. The report has been conducted on behalf of the Swedish Government Official Reports Committee An Efficient Organization of Public Research Funding. The report reviews, among other things, transdisciplinary research, capacity building and risk funding, and research infrastructures.

At the seminar, the authors of the OECD report will present their conclusions and participate in a panel discussion with, among others, Head of Committee Ingrid Petersson.

This seminar is a part of the SNS research project Higher education and research.

The seminar will be held in English.
