Why attending
Sweden consistently punches above its weight in research and innovation, supported by the strongest government commitment to date in its latest Research and Innovation Bill. But how does Sweden’s strong position in cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, quantum technologies, and clean energy solutions compare to its international competitors across the EU27, as well as global leaders like the US, China, and Japan? In an increasingly polarized world, how can Sweden navigate challenges to optimize its position on the global stage and make the right strategic choices?
This seminar in collaboration with STINT will present data-driven findings to inspire a discussion on strategies that leverage Sweden’s strengths and address areas for growth. Join us for an engaging session that highlights Sweden’s research performance, offering a compelling view of how evidence-based approaches can support national and international competitiveness.
What will the event provide?
Sweden has established itself as a global leader not only in the volume of its research but also in the impact and relevance of its scholarly output. Its commitment to international collaboration has fostered high-quality partnerships that enhance the country’s global standing. As we explore strategies for maintaining and advancing Sweden’s research leadership, we’ll delve into the role of cutting-edge infrastructures, the adoption of transformative technologies, and the contributions of universities in driving regional innovation ecosystems. These ecosystems strengthen Sweden’s national research base while supporting international collaborations that propel global impact.
This seminar offers a unique opportunity to engage in a critical conversation about the future of Swedish research and innovation. Together, we will reflect on how Sweden can unlock the full potential of its research community and drive meaningful outcomes across borders. We will also discuss how priorities outlined in the Research Bill, combined with a focus on responsible internationalization and research security, can ensure Sweden’s position as a global leader in an era of heightened geopolitical complexity.
