Our role in EEA and Norway Grants Donor Programme Partner in research • advises on programme development and implementation • facilitates contact and information flow • nominates Norwegian members of Programme Committee (PC) • observer status in PC Flow of good practice • Latvia • Norway • Estonia • Poland • Hungary • Czech Republic • Romania

  4. Norwegian Research policy and priorities

  5. The Council is a Key Player in the National Research and Innovation System Dialogue and Policy Development Council Strategy Government White Paper

  6. Research priorities and challenges - as defined by the White Papers Global challenges Welfare and science- based professions Business relevant research in strategic fields Improve health and health services Knowledge based business development in the regions A functioning research system High quality in the research Internationalisation of the research Efficient utilisation of results and resources

  7. R&D IN NORWAY

  8. Who performs R&D in Norway? • Higher education institutions • universities and university colleges • universities have responsibility for basic research and researcher training • Research institutes • research in cooperation with trade and industry • Regional health authorities • university hospitals are research intensive • Public institutions • Museums, libraries and archives • Business sector • Large companies • SMEs

  9. Three different research sectors with different roles Development Applied research Basicresearch Industry Institutes Higher Education
