Samverkan sätter entreprenörskap i fokus

En gemensam arena för alla som strävar efter att stärka svenskt entreprenörskap saknas. IVA-initiativet Entreprenörskapsakademien ska råda bot på detta. Kristina Alsér är ordförande i styrgruppen.

FoU-barometern 2022

Företag uppger att de har allt svårare att hitta personal till forskning och utveckling (FoU). Särskilt utmanande är det att hitta mjukvaruutvecklare och ingenjörer inom elektrifiering. Men på det stora hela har Sverige ett bra klimat för att bedriva forskning och utveckling. Det visar IVAs FoU-barometer 2022, som är den fjärde i ordningen.

Den hållbara ingenjören

Att studenter upplever oro och stress över både studieliv och det kommande arbetslivet har blivit vanligare visar nya rapporter. Under våren 2019 bjöd IVAs Studentråd in till workshopar för att samtala om lösningar på problematiken.

Rapport: Vi utbildar för framtiden nu

Inspel till en ny strategi för entreprenörskap i skolan. Mycket har förändras sedan nuvarande strategi för entreprenörskap i skolan antogs. Projektet IVAs Entreprenörskapsakademi har därför, genom en arbetsgrupp bestående av representanter för skola, myndigheter, akademisk forskning och näringsliv, arbetat fram detta inspel till en uppdaterad strategi.

The history of IVA

Sweden’s second youngest Royal Academy, the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences (IVA), was founded as recently as 1919, but is nevertheless the world’s oldest engineering academy.

Governance and management

IVA’s operations and mandate are regulated by the Academy’s statutes. IVA is governed by a Presidium that serves as the Academy’s board. The highest decision-making body at IVA is the Assembly of the Academy. IVA’s Secretariat and the Secretariat’s management team work to support the Academy’s operational activities, as well as driving development and change management work.
