The aim for mission group 4 is to gain a better understanding of the current strengths and potentials of the research and innovations clusters across the Nordic region.

To achieve this, we need to address:

  • What can we learn from each other across the Nordic countries? How can we mobilize these clusters even more and make the collaboration between sectors such as universities, private companies, research organizations, funding agencies and innovation actors even better so they can contribute more and faster to the future societal transformations?
  • How should the future innovation system around the universities be organized and governed so they can take advantage of more mission-and impact-oriented research activities at the universities?
