The Danish Act on the Research Advisory System
What is this about?
Through this act, the Danish government establishes the Danish Council for Research and Innovation Policy and the Danish Council for Independent Research, whose main aim is to promote research, collaboration and ensure high standards in Denmark. Whereas the Danish Council for Research and Innovation Policy shall promote research of high societal relevance with practical impact, the Danish Council for Independent Research shall provide support and advice on research initiated by independent researchers.
Why is this important?
Support for research can be organized at various levels. With the establishment of policy-level bodies that guide and stimulate research, the Danish Government hopes to encourage innovation and collaboration on a higher level.
