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.

Research and Innovation

Research and innovation are key to competitiveness and prosperity – and require collaboration between the worlds of academia and business. Successful collaborations on research results that lead to innovations and business development strengthen Sweden’s competitiveness and contribute to positive social development.

Entrepreneurship

Entrepreneurs are the drivers of progress towards the businesses of the future. IVA inspires and creates the conditions for more people to become entrepreneurs.
