Survey of Research and Innovation Infrastructures in Middle Norrland

Welcome to the InnoHEIs research and innovation infrastructure survey.

 

Thank you for your report!

This survey is part of the Interreg Europe project InnoHEIs. The overarching goal of the project is to improve regional innovation development. This will be achieved by improving the utilization of research and innovation infrastructures (RIIs) through better involvement of its users and customers. In addition, the project aims to facilitate collaboration between science, industry and public.

Research and Innovation Infrastructures (RIIs) are facilities that provide resources and services for research communities to conduct research and foster innovation.

They can be used beyond research e.g. for education or public services and they may be single-sited, distributed, or virtual.

They include

  • major scientific equipment or sets of instruments
  • collections, archives or scientific data
  • computing systems and communication networks
  • any other research and innovation infrastructure of a unique nature which is open to external users

The survey intends to identify research and innovation infrastructures in Middle Norrland and their users, and consists of 3 parts:

Part I: Identification of research and innovation infrastructures
Part II: Gap analysis indicators
Part III:  Good examples

The process for the survey is based from another Interreg Europe project called TraCS3 and we have developed it further for the InnoHEIs project. The survey is a part of a learning process in Middle Norrland and will be divided in three steps.

Step 1: The web survey and interviews
Step 2: Peer Review with InnoHEIs 11 European partners
Step 3: Feedback to all the regional partners participating in the survey.

During the interviews, the questionnaire will be answered and the following analysis will be performed by the project leader of InnoHEIs Karin Nygård Skalman, the project member Nina Erkenstam (MIUN Grants Office) and the project member Karolina Rosdahl (MIUN Innovation).
