Verksamhets­berättelser

Vad gör IVA? Ta del av alla IVAs aktiviteter under ett år, i komprimerad form, i våra verksamhetsberättelser.

Akademisk frihet och livslångt lärande

Yttrande från Kungl. Ingenjörsvetenskapsakademien (IVA) avseende promemorian Ändringar i högskolelagen för att främja den akademiska friheten och tydliggöra lärosätenas roll för det livslånga lärandet.

Innovation som drivkraft - från forskning till nytta

Yttrande från Kungl. Ingenjörsvetenskapsakademien (IVA) avseende SOU 2020:59. IVA välkomnar utredningen som aktualiserar betydelsen av att forskning vid lärosätena blir tillgänglig för omgivande näringsliv och samhälle.

Teknisk obalans? Kvinnor och män i teknik

Utbildningarna till högskoleingenjör och civilingenjör är nu de enda yrkesutbildningarna på högskolan där kvinnor fortsatt är tydligt underrepresenterade. Det visar en ny rapport som Kungl. Ingenjörsvetenskapsakademien (IVA) tagit fram i samarbete med Teknikföretagen och Sveriges Ingenjörer.

Utvidgade regler om lättnad i beskattning av personaloptioner i vissa fall

Yttrande från Kungl. Ingenjörsvetenskapsakademien (IVA) avseende Fi2020/04527. Kungl. Ingenjörsvetenskapsakademien, IVA, välkomnar att lättnader föreslås i beskattningen av personaloptioner i vissa fall och tillstyrker promemorian.

Politik kräver samverkan och underlag

Danska Damvad har på uppdrag av IVA-projektet ”Utsiktsplats forskning” studerat analysförmågan och hur den kan användas för att underbygga svensk forskningspolitik. Här är en sammanfattning av de viktigaste slutsatserna i studien ”Politik kräver samverkan och underlag”.

Resurseffektivitet - Policyutveckling mot 2025

I IVA-projektet Resurseffektiva affärsmodellers slutrapport diskuteras policyutveckling för ett mer resurseffektivt Sverige. Ett antal förslag tas fram, och områden för ytterligare policyarbete berörs.

Energy and Resources

Energy and resource efficiency and the circular economy are key to Swedish competitiveness and achieving the climate goals. Sustainable alternatives are needed if promises of a fossil-free energy system and a climate-smart industrial and transport sector are to be realised.

Skills Supply

The school and education system is vital for Swedish competitiveness – as is making Sweden an attractive country for highly skilled people and companies to work in. IVA aims to stimulate lifelong learning, positive attitudes to knowledge and education, and young people’s curiosity, problem-solving skills and joy of discovery.

The consequences of AI: fear in the digital age

Seminar with Professor Geoffrey Hinton

Climate Urgency and the Nordic Response

With respect to climate policy, Sweden was an early mover in introducing a tax on CO2 emissions from fossil fuels already in 1991. By the end of the 1990s the Swedish electricity sector was almost decarbonised. The remaining sectors, industry and transport, are curerntly the targets of ambitious decarbonization efforts, in Sweden and in the EU.

Projects and programmes

IVA believes in humanity’s capacity to contribute positively to society through the engineering and economic sciences. We run a number of projects and programmes, both short and long-term, with the ambition of promoting social development through knowledge and common sense.

Research2Business (R2B)

With its Research2Business (R2B) project IVA wants to support Sweden’s efforts to become a leader in turning academic research into innovation and competitiveness in business and industry. The goal is to strengthen and increase collaboration between university research and businesses to mutually benefit all actors. R2B is responsible for, among other things, compiling IVA’s 100-list, which will be published for the sixth time in 2024, and organizing the annual R2B Summit.

Roadmap for Metals and Minerals

The green transition means a sharp increase in demand for metals and minerals. Today, a few countries outside Europe control these resources. But Sweden and other countries in the EU have great potential to secure their supply, not least through rich ore deposits. The main question for IVA's project Roadmap for Metals and Minerals is how Sweden and Europe can sustainably secure the supply of metals and minerals.

Tekniksprånget

Tekniksprånget gives young people throughout Sweden the chance to try out the engineering profession through four months of paid work experience. The internship programme has been run by IVA since 2012, with the aim of inspiring more people to choose engineering at university level.

Chester Carlson Research Award

The Chester Carlson Award is managed by IVA’s Foundation for Research in Information Science and is awarded to people, institutions or organisations for innovative research or development work in the field of information science.

Smart Industry competition

The Smart Industry Business Competition recognises and rewards companies that take advantage of the opportunities offered by digitalisation in a smart and innovative way with clear results. The aim is to stimulate the digital and sustainable transformation of SMEs by highlighting best practice. The business competition has been held annually by IVA since 2016.

IVA’s memorial tributes

Each year the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences (IVA) produces a booklet commemorating a person whose scientific, engineering, economic or industrial achievements were of significant benefit to the society of his or her day.
