We are happy to announce that the Research Council of Norway (RCN) has decided to fund the OSIRIS Centre for the last period of the centre. An international panel of experts has evaluated the centre and recommended that it continues. This recommendation was adopted by the RCN's board of directors in February this year.
The Little Tools project was recently featured in the European Commission's 'Results Pack on frontier research for the Green New Deal'.
From the 9th to 11th of December 2020, the OSIRIS team participated at the Workshop on Medical Innovation (WOMI), which was organised by Maynooth University School of Business and Gothenburg Center for Knowledge-intensive Innovative Ecosystems.
TIK's ERC Starting Grant project welcomes two new research assistants, Minja Mitrovic and Jonas Engestøl Wettre, to the group.
The article “Innovation in natural resource- based Industries; a pathway to development?” by TIK researchers Allan Dahl Andersen and Erlend O. Simensen, is the first one to cross 10.000 reads in the journal Innovation and Development.
In their new blog post, OSIRIS researchers Magnus Gulbrandsen, Erlend Simensen and Taran Thune present a large survey among users of research in public agencies.
Is there a contradiction between quality and relevance? Do researchers emphasize originality and publication in prestigious journals, while users want easy-to-read and simple answers to practical questions? A new, large survey among users of research in public agencies indicates that users emphasize many of the same quality criteria as the researchers themselves.
As the project reaches its final stages, the team met up for a two-day workshop to discuss works underway and the road ahead.
OSIRIS is happy to welcome a new member of the research team: Ph.D. candidate Kristin Oxley!
How to do document analysis? In a new textbook, Kristin Asdal and Hilde Reinertsen aim to help you with precisely this.
A recent report published by Food Banks Norway shows important findings related to food waste and poverty alleviation in Norway during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The current public support schemes for research and development should be directed more towards R&D-starters in the business enterprise sector and be based more on general criteria rather than discretion.
How can science have an impact on policy-making? In OSIRIS, we analyse the processes and conditions of research users to understand impact. Papers about the impact of science on policy-making often describe interactions between scientists and individual policymakers. While these are certainly important, the new OSIRIS discussion paper draws attention to the role of conditions in policy organisations.
The joint EASST/4S conference took place on 18-21 August - this year virtually.
OSIRIS researchers at Statistics Norway have published an article analyzing the impact of all major sources of direct and indirect R&D subsidies to industries in Norway during the period 2002-2013.
More R&D spending in Norway leads to higher productivity as firms improve their capacity to learn from other domestic firms as well as from firms in other countries. As a result, GDP, real wages and consumption will increase in the long run.
