3 Högskolelagen: 1 kap 2 Staten skall som huvudman anordna högskolor för 1) Utbildning som vilar på vetenskaplig eller konstnärlig grund samt på beprövad erfarenhet, och 2) Forskning och konstnärligt utvecklingsarbete samt annat utvecklingsarbete Högskolorna skall också samverka med det omgivande samhället och informera om sin verksamhet.

4 1kap 6 : Forskningens Frihet: forskningsproblem får fritt väljas forskningsmetoder får fritt utvecklas forskningsresultat får fritt publiceras

11 3-year Budget example VINNOVA Partners (65% labour) Linköping university Other external funding Total ksek ksek ksek ksek ksek Personnel: 70 persons involved, 30 at LiU and 40 at partners 16 PhD students, 10 at LiU and 6 at partners 30 person years, 23 at LiU and 7 at partners (12 PhD students, 12 senior scientists, and 6 support) S-SENCE

12 Characteristics Partners with expertise and long-term commitment Collaborations with research groups at LiU and other domestic and foreign universities and institutes Support from research councils Collaborations with graduate schools Good balance between PhD students, scientists, and engineers (40:40:20) S-SENCE

13 FORUM SCIENTUM Strategic Objectives PhDs well prepared for careers outside Academia through a structured graduate school programme, including World class research within Sensing Science and Technology and Collaboration and a multitude of contacts with Swedish industry

14 S-SENCE and Forum Scientum Division of tasks: S-SENCE: S-SENCE Direct industrial collaborations Application-oriented research Basic research in key competence areas Forum Scientum: Graduate school Independent strategic basic research in novel areas

15 Mötesplatser Veckomöten projektpresentationer, information etc Områdesmöten - c 5ggr/år S-SENCE:s dagar, internat, 1g/år Styrelsemöten - c 5 ggr/år S-SENCE

16 Added values, University Application specific knowledge Creative and inventive partners Focus on relevant issues Internal cross-learning Concerted research effort Administrative, technical and financial platform Personnel mobility - industrial experiences Inspiration, motivation, innovation S-SENCE Applicable Applied Science, Spin-offs Excellence in Basic Research Excellence in teaching

17 Added values, Industry Availability of academic research Availability of competence development through PhD training and other university courses Research competence on relevant applications Networking: other industries, new university contacts Development of specific applications Personnel mobility Qualified and well-trained recruitments S-SENCE

18 Reflektioner/kommentarer Egen identitet viktigt! Klarhet över IPR också internt inom EC Identifierade ansvarsförhållande hos industripartnern (forskning, ekonomi, kontrakt) Klarhet över sekretess också internt inom EC Industrins förväntningar vad EC levererar, tydlighet, uppriktighet Högskolans förväntningar på industripartners Alla företag olika! Styrelse med engagemang Föreståndare med engagemang och legitimitet

19 Reflektion/kommentarer, II Integration inom EC Institutionens/universitetets stöd Multilaterala projekt vs bilaterala Kortare pilotuppdrag Forskarutbildning Annan forskningsfinansiering Delprojektekonomin Internationellt perspektiv o. konkurrenskraft
