This page provides an overview of the councils completed projects
On occasion of the fact that in 2013, university colleges and business academies were given a new obligation to conduct practice- and application-oriented research and development, DFIR examines the place of these activities in the Danish research and innovation landscape
In the Climate Goals and Means project, DFIR examines whether the research and innovation system is optimally structured to support the goals of the climate law.
In the Good Interdisciplinary Research and Innovation project, DFIR explores the potential in interdisciplinary and diversity, and how best to support it.
Scientific advice for decision-makers is one way research and research results are translated into benefits for society. The COVID-19 crisis demonstrated how crucial it is for society to have access to skilled researchers from various disciplines who can advise on how to best manage crises.
Research funding is undergoing changes, with private foundations increasingly contributing. The Danish Council for Research and Innovation Policy (DFiR) has examined in this project what these changes mean for Danish research and society, and how to maximize the benefits of all funding sources.
The project aimed to provide an overview of Denmark’s international knowledge balance by highlighting, analyzing, and assessing the circulation of knowledge between Denmark and other countries.
Denmark must lead the way in the green transition needed to address global societal challenges. Many view new technology as the solution to these challenges. But how do we ensure access to the necessary technology?
A research career today is very different from what it was twenty years ago. In the "Careers in Research" project, DFiR examined how career paths have changed. The council has proposed six recommendations on how to continue developing attractive and effective career paths.
The public innovation promotion efforts have long been targeted at small and medium-sized enterprises. Based on the target group project, DFiR has made nine recommendations on how more organizations could benefit from these efforts.
Things are going well: Denmark is ranked as an 'innovation leader' in the European assessment of countries' innovation capacity. However, there is potential to translate even more excellent research into innovation. The question is where to focus efforts and how?
Researcher mobility between sectors enhances the value of collaboration between businesses and universities, and it improves both the quality and relevance of research in both sectors. The Danish Council for Research and Innovation Policy has examined the added value that mobile researchers and research environments create.
Danish research holds a leading international position in terms of research impact. The Danish Council for Research and Innovation Policy focuses on what has led to this position—and what Denmark needs to do to maintain it. Read more about the council’s project.
