1: Main Strategy
Research Expands Frontiers Other Information:
The Research Council's main strategy, Research Expands Frontiers, was adopted in 2004 to apply for the period from 2004 to
2010. The strategiy defines five strategic priorities to guide the research Council's efforts to generate insight, enhance
opportunity and promote innovative solutions... In the time that has since elapsed, new perspectives affecting research policy
have emerged in a number of important areas, among other things through the white paper on research (Report no. 20 (2004-2005)
to the Storting: Commitment to Research), the current Government's Inaugural Address, the launching of the Government's Strategy
for the High North and the development of the EU Seventh Framework Programme. As a result, the Research Council's main strategy
is currently undergoing revision. Policy memoranda in key areas The Research Council has prepared a series of policy memoranda
to facilitate the integration of the main strategy and the overall research policy perspectives into the organisations work
programme and action plans. Memoranda have been produced on the following topics: Research-based innovation Thematic and technological
priority areas Basic research Gender equality and perspectives in research Internationalisation The policy memoranda (only
available in Norwegian) further seek to identify potential changes in needs in relation to emerging research policy perspectives
and shifts in the research framework. They will also be used as input in a process of revising the main strategy which is
expected to be completed in the course of 2008.
