SWEDEN´S FIRST LONG-TERM PLAN FOR RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURE
29 October 2006 - Swedish Research Council

The Swedish Research Council´s Guide to Infrastructure, with a perspective of 10-20 years, is Sweden´s first long-term plan for research infrastructure. The emphasis is on field overviews in which research infrastructure, both present and planned, is placed in its context. The report presents various recommendations, identifying appropriate infrastructure projects of great importance to future research.

The Swedish Research Council´s Guide to Infrastructure, with a perspective of 10-20 years, is Sweden´s first long-term plan for research infrastructure. The emphasis is on field overviews in which research infrastructure, both present and planned, is placed in its context. The report presents various recommendations, identifying appropriate infrastructure projects of great importance to future research. Certain fields in which further investigation is needed are also pinpointed. A summary of the key conclusions from the report is available in English, see the right column.

The Swedish Research Council's Guide to Infrastructure will be used as a basis of discussions on funding of future infrastructures, both in the Council and nationally, with other research-fund providers and in international contexts. The Guide should be seen as an up-to-date overview of the research infrastructure required for Swedish basic research of world class, but it is not a strict list of priorities and represents no funding commitments.

The second edition of the roadmap is expected in June 2007. The timetable will be adapted to enable the revised roadmap to provide a basis for work on the next Government Bill on Research Policy.

About: Swedish Research Council
The Swedish Research Council bears national responsibility for developing the country’s basic research towards attainment of a strong international position.

The Council has three main tasks: research funding, science communication and research policy. Research is the foundation for the development of knowledge in society, and the basis of high-quality education. Research is also crucial as a means of enhancing welfare through economic, social and cultural development.

One essential principle is that research should be unrestricted and unaffiliated. Active researchers are therefore in a majority on the Council’s board, as in the Scientific Councils and the Committee for Educational Science, i.e. in all bodies where applications are assessed and evaluated, and grants decided upon. This guarantees the quality and diversity of basic research.
