RESEARCH FUNDING. A new evaluation model for resource allocation to universities and university colleges involving peer review of the quality and relevance of research suggested by the Swedish Research Coucil on request by the government is now on referral.
In March 2013, the Swedish Government commissioned the Swedish Research Council, in consultation with the Swedish Research Council for Health, Working Life and Social Research (Forte), the Swedish Research Council for Environment, Agricultural Sciences and Spatial Planning (Formas), and Vinnova, Sweden’s innovation agency, to develop and propose a model for allocating resources to universities and university colleges involving peer review of the quality and relevance of research.
The report is available in English.
