In the Vanguard of Research sets out the strategy for the Research Council of Norway’s activities for the period from 2009 to 2012. This strategy revolves around four key challenges facing the Norwegian research establishment. These are:

○ To ensure adequate capacity and quality: There must be greater investment in research
    activity and the overall quality must be enhanced to help researchers, trade and industry
    and society at large to develop and compete in an increasingly globalised world.
○ To meet the changing needs of society: Research must seek to respond more directly to
    specific social and industrial challenges, especially in relation to welfare and industrial
    development, as well as global climate and energy problems.
○ To create a sounder structure: The structure of the Norwegian research system, its
    national partnerships and its international participation must be upgraded to achieve
    optimum utilisation of Norway’s overall R&D resources.
○ To promote new learning: Research must generate results that can be applied by the
    private and public sectors alike, as well as provide a framework for learning that will
    benefit the national knowledge culture.

The strategy identifies principal points of action for the Research Council in each of these four areas. These entail efforts to strengthen and further refine ongoing activities as well as proposals for new activities. The Research Council acts as an advisor on and an implementer of research policy. Thus, the points of action serve both as input to the authorities and various stakeholders in the research establishment, and as guiding principles for the Council’s own activity. Areas of particular priority during the strategy period are:

 

○ Boosting activities within national thematic and technological priority areas, and global
    challenges and climate-related issues in particular.
○ Increasing investment in scientific equipment and research infrastructure.
 Improving thematically independent funding instruments for researchers and trade and
    industry.
○ Expanding the framework for internationalisation.
○ Ensuring that all players can compete on an equal footing within the research system.

The new strategy will provide the platform for the Research Council’s various strategic
documents, where these priorities will be discussed and elaborated in more detail. These priorities will be expressed in economic terms in the annual budget proposal, and they will be adjusted to conform to current policy on an ongoing basis. A set of performance targets for the implementation of the strategy has been designed.
