measure: RI training The Research Ethics Act of 2017 imposes the responsibility of the research institutions to provide training in research ethics '"`UNIQ--ref-00000025-QINU`"'. FEK are not responsible for training as such. However, FEK has established several national initiatives related to training: - A Research Ethics library containing articles and cases (including on research integrity) - A yearly conference for teachers and people responsible for research integrity at the different institutions - The secretariat for the Committees takes part in a wide range of teaching activities at different institutions '"`UNIQ--ref-00000026-QINU`"'. RI dialogue and communication NEM, NENT and NESH cooperate with GRU on the prevention of research misconduct, combining proactive teaching and advise on RE/RI with retroactive investigations of misconduct. NEK organises an annual two-day meeting for all its members. The aim of the meeting is professional replenishment and discussion '"`UNIQ--ref-00000027-QINU`"'. It also organises open debate meetings on various research ethics topics '"`UNIQ--ref-00000028-QINU`"'. REK organises one national conference per year for all members of all committees for networking purposes and for addressing issues of common interest. It also organises coordination meetings twice a year between the chairs of the committees and respective secretariats '"`UNIQ--ref-00000029-QINU`"'. According to the University and Higher Education Act, all universities and HE-institutions have a “third mission”. In addition to teaching and research – communicating research to the public and society at large '"`UNIQ--ref-0000002A-QINU`"'. The Research Council of Norway promotes collaboration between research communities (18)'"`UNIQ--ref-0000002B-QINU`"'. It also promotes translation of research findings to society by awarding researchers with the Award for Excellence in Communication of Science. This award is assigned to researchers who demonstrated outstanding communication of…

research funding: In 2018, the gross domestic expenditures on research and development were NOK 72.8 billion (€7.13 billion), which comprises 2.06% of the country’s GDP '"`UNIQ--ref-00000010-QINU`"'. Most funding was spent in the industrial sector (32.8%), higher education sector (25.2%) and institute sector (14.8%) '"`UNIQ--ref-00000011-QINU`"'. Norway had 1.943 signed grants receiving €1.6 billion and 104 ERC grants receiving €183 million '"`UNIQ--ref-00000012-QINU`"'. '"`UNIQ--references-00000013-QINU`"'
research governance: The current Norwegian research ethics system is regulated by the Research Ethics Act of 2017, which secures the independence of the ethical committees, promotes the individual researcher’s responsibility to familiarise with and follow ethical standards, and emphasises that research institutions must ensure that all research conducted in their institution is in accordance with ethical standards '"`UNIQ--ref-00000016-QINU`"'. The three National Research Ethics Committees – The National Committee for Medical and Health Research Ethics (NEM), The National Committee for Research Ethics in the Social Sciences and the Humanities (NESH), and The National Commission for Research Ethics in Science and Technology (NENT) – were established in 1990 to coordinate and support work on research ethics on a national level. The National Commission for the Investigation of Research Misconduct (GRU) was established in 2007 as a separate commission for the investigation of research misconduct, in accordance with the first Research Ethics Act of 2006. Since 2008, there is also The National Committee for Research Ethics on Human Remains (SKJ). In 2013 these bodies were united as the National Research Ethics Committees in Norway (FEK) established as a separate unit under the Ministry of Education and Research (KD) '"`UNIQ--ref-00000017-QINU`"''"`UNIQ--ref-00000018-QINU`"'. At the national level, NEM, NESH, and NENT have a proactive approach, aimed at teaching or at approving or advising research projects. GRU is in charge of investigating serious cases of research misconduct, providing guidance to individual researchers and institutions, as well as overseeing their work. Moreover, GRU can investigate cases of research misconduct that happened abroad if they involve researchers employed by a Norwegian institution. '"`UNIQ--ref-00000019-QINU`"'. The members of all the national committees are appointed by KD based on input from The Research Council of Norway. GRU is chaired by the person with …
research strategy: Research and higher education are central to the development of a sustainable society, where knowledge is the key to new, green and profitable jobs and a better and more efficient public sector. Technological development, with digitalisation as a pervasive element, offers great opportunities, but also offers challenges with regard to, among other things, privacy and social security. Inequalities in society are increasing, and contradictions are polarizing. At the same time, we face major challenges in terms of climate and environment, which can only be met in cooperation with other countries. This forms the framework for the government's long-term plan for research and higher education. The overall goals of the plan are to strengthen Norway's competitiveness and ability to innovate, meet major societal challenges and develop professional environments of outstanding quality. The plan has a ten-year perspective, with a specification of goals and focus areas for the coming four-year period. The government presented the first long-term plan for research and higher education in 2014. The long-term plan is revised every 4 years '"`UNIQ--ref-00000014-QINU`"'. '"`UNIQ--references-00000015-QINU`"'
