The project aims to strengthen the understanding of how research is used across sectors. We collaborate with partners from business, the public sector, and academia to analyze how they engage with research—how it is accessed, applied, and integrated into decision-making and problem-solving.

The project will facilitate dialogue and learning among the project partners and contribute to inclusive and sustainable approaches to innovation. Through this work, we will identify good practices and develop knowledge-based policy recommendations to strengthen the use of research.

By moving beyond traditional, linear models of research utilization, the project seeks to provide a better foundation for Norwegian research and innovation policy and ensure that research contributes meaningfully to addressing complex societal transitions.
