»The Academy’s mission is to promote
the engineering and economic sciences
and the development of industry for
the benefit of society.«
IVA is an independent arena for the exchange of knowledge. By initiating and stimulating contacts between
experts from different disciplines and countries, the Academy promotes cross fertilisation between industry, academia, public administration and various interest groups. Bringing people together to take part in
lectures, conferences, research exchange and other projects, serves to generate new ideas and knowledge.
The Academy has a longstanding tradition of highlighting the implications of strategic choices that, in
various ways, are affected by technology, the economic consequences of new technology, and prerequisites
for sustainable development.
The Academy directs its activities into four areas:
• Education and research
• Technology transfer and enterprise
• Technology and society
• Techno-economic foresight.
IVA’s network consists of distinguished engineers and economists from business and industry, education
and public administration. With close to 1,000 Swedish and foreign members elected to the Academy by
their peers and about 200 members in IVA’s Business Executives Council, the Academy constitutes a highly
competent knowledge bank.
His Majesty King Carl XVI Gustaf is the patron of IVA and takes an active part in Academy activities.

swe de n – an at tr active partn e r
Internationally, Sweden is praised as a technology-intensive country
that is strong in research and has competitive industries. But how can
we hold our ground in the future? Are we investing in the technology
of tomorrow? A recent British study documents how much money
companies are investing in research in different countries. Fortunately,
Sweden was in ninth place. Bearing in mind the size of our country,
this is a very respectable result.
We are particularly successful in IVA’s primary field, traditional
engineering sciences, as well as in medicine, biotechnology and IT – all
areas that are considered vital for the future. But our strong positions
still feel somewhat shaky. Industry accounts for a full 75 per cent of
Sweden’s total research and development budget and just a few large
corporations are responsible for the majority of this.This is all well
and good as long as these corporations choose Swedish research
centres for their R&D activities. But if big corporations, in our increasingly globalised economy, see opportunities to get a better return on
their research investment in other places, the situation could quickly
deteriorate. How can we remain attractive in the future? We need to
develop competitive environments and incentives that stimulate interest and attract funding from the world around us. Not only will this
encourage corporate development departments to invest in research
in Sweden, but the same mechanisms will give Sweden’s leading research environments opportunities to grow and become stronger.
There is a lot we can do to improve the Swedish research situation.This was debated vigorously in 2006 when the business community and various organisations and government agencies were
involved in IVA projects such as “Business Plan for Sweden,” “The
University of the Future” and “IT without Borders.” One measure to
guarantee research activity is, of course, more funding from the
Government.The goal of allocating one per cent of the budget for
civil research must be reached as soon as possible. In the longer term,
I believe that the bar should be raised even higher. But more money
alone will not make research more efficient. It is important to invest
the funds wisely.Today no country has the resources to be competitive in all research fields.This is why we need a strategy based on research environments that can compete internationally and that match
the sectors of industry where Sweden has a real chance of competing.
It is not possible to rely on public funding alone. With only
Government funding, our universities will fall behind, regardless of
how successfully the funds are strategically allocated. Universities and
other research environments in Sweden must be given more opportunities to attract private funding from companies and private individuals, which is very common throughout the Western World.We
need tax rules that make research resources worth the same in
Sweden as they are in countries like Canada or the UK. Incentives for
research collaboration between industry and universities, and tax
relief for donations should be as self-evident in our country as they
are in many others.To succeed with research collaboration, the universities need more independence and the financial responsibility to
create attractive knowledge environments.
Another area where Sweden is at a disadvantage compared to
many other countries is the ability of smaller companies to participate
in research. Although there is great knowledge potential at our universities today, it mainly benefits large global corporations. It is important to involve small technology-intensive companies in collaboration
with universities and give them incentives to invest in research and
development. There are other good examples around us, e.g. in
France where expense associated with social fees is reduced for a
few years for small start-up companies with significant research costs.
A new Government was installed in 2006 and IVA has been carefully monitoring its intentions with respect to international competitiveness and the knowledge field. We have received several positive
signals. A Globalisation Council has been formed.This idea was suggested by many within industry, government agencies and other organisations, and was also proposed by one of the year’s main IVA
projects,“Business Plan for Sweden.”
It was gratifying to see that the Minister for Education and
Research created the council before the end of the year.
The fact that one of the party leaders was selected to be the
Minister for Education and Research in the new Government is an
indication that research has a high priority at the top level of government. Interest in research and technology was also evident when
both the Minister for Enterprise and Energy and the Minister for
Education and Research were present at the launch of the Discovery
space shuttle with the Swedish astronaut Christer Fuglesang on
board – an event that was nothing short of a huge technical manifestation. Many of you will remember Christer Fuglesang from IVA’s
Annual Meeting in 2005 when he, as a guest speaker, talked about
space engineering and research.This made a great impression on me
and in 2006 we witnessed his journey into space. For my part, it was
fantastic to personally experience the launch.This was one of the first
major events of the year for many of those with me.The level of interest in our national hero and in space engineering among the entire
population of Sweden was surprising.We need heroes; particularly in
the technical sphere, where interest has waned despite the fact that
technical expertise has been one of Sweden’s trademarks for many
years.The rekindling of interest in science and technology research
witnessed in connection with the Swedish space flight gives me cause
to be optimistic about the future!

joining forces for sweden’s
business plan
Boundary-breaching discussions and joint proposals from a wide variety of players and organisations were
the outcome of the major foresight project in 2006 dealing with Sweden’s competitiveness entitled “Business
Plan for Sweden.” Just over a year ago, IVA and the Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth
(Nutek) started this project. The reason behind the initiative is the fact that Sweden is facing major challenges with respect to structural changes in industry, and is also exposed to increased competition while being
presented with new opportunities.
The Business Plan for Sweden project has involved considerable analysis as well as numerous interviews and scenarios. It
was started in spring 2005 and culminated in a conference on
19 May 2006, and in the publication of comprehensive report.
The project will also publish a number of reports in 2007, including a description of modern Swedish industry and an anthology about the Swedish structural transformation. The
project’s Steering Committee comprised trade union and
industry association representatives and research and industry
players. The Chairman of the Steering Committee was Carl
Bennet, chairman of the board of Getinge and Elanders.
The primary goal of Business Plan for Sweden has been to
answer three questions about Swedish industry: What has
happened over the past 15–20 years? What may happen in the
future? What needs to be done to develop Swedish industry?
At a well-attended seminar in May 2006, the participants included
former Minister for Industry, Employment and Communications,
Tomas Östros, who was there to learn about the project’s conclusions
and proposals. The project’s proposals were in the form of nine key
points presented in no particular order of importance since they are
all interlinked. The proposals are aimed primarily at politicians.
THE NINE PROPOSALS ARE:
lifelong learning: There should be a greater interplay
between players within the education infrastructure. The
quality of vocational programmes and higher education needs
to be improved. A system for individual competence development should be created by the various players in the labour
market.
more government funding for r&d: Government
investment in civil research should be increased as soon as
possible to one per cent of the GNP, and significantly more in
the future. IT, vehicles, forest, new materials, medicine and life
science are among the important areas. Faculty grants should
also be increased. We need stronger ties with EU research,
and between research and business.
service operations: The regulatory frameworks should be
changed to promote the growth of tourism, retail and services. A strategy programme for cooperation between this
sector and the political sphere should be the first step.
care: Review the regulations for the care sector to take
advantage of the creativity of new players. More players have
the potential to contribute to efficiency gains to provide better
care or to save money.
internationalisation of services: The Government
should act to increase competition in the service markets and
help competent Swedish companies compete in the international market.
the tax system: A general review of the tax system is needed, particularly in light of internationalisation.
mobility and security in the labour market: New
solutions are needed to increase flexibility in the labour market while improving individual security. This is particularly
important for small and growing businesses. The rules that
apply to such companies should reduce their obligations in
connection with recruitment.
long-term energy solutions: Significant new knowledge
and new technology has emerged within the energy area. All
players and parties need to join forces to utilise this and agree
on a long-term energy policy. The goal should be a plan to
secure Sweden’s energy supply in a 40-year perspective.

THE ROYAL SWEDISH AC ADEMY OF ENGINEERING SCIENCES, IVA, ANNUAL REPORT 2 0 0 6
globalisation council: Sweden should establish a
Globalisation Council, an international development council
(see below). This council would provide valuable support to
the Government in economic development issues. One
important task would be to analyse the significance of globalisation. The council members should include representatives
from companies, trade unions, the education and research
sector and the Government.
Henrik Blomgren, IVA’s Programme Manager, was Project Manager for Business
Plan for Sweden.

IVA´ S PRESIDENT – PART OF THE
GLOBALISATION COUNCIL
In 2006 the Government formed a Globalisation Council.The IVA
and Nutek project “Business Plan for Sweden” proposed the creation of such a council.The Council’s task is to increase knowledge
and broaden the public debate on what it will take for Sweden to
hold its own in a world characterised by rapid and continuing globalisation. IVA’s President Lena Treschow Torell has been appointed to serve on the Council, and Hans Bergström, Urban
Bäckström, Karin Markides, Carl-Henric Svanberg, Harriet
Wallberg-Henriksson and Marcus Wallenberg are other IVA members with a seat on the Council. Sweden’s Minister for Education
and Science, Lars Leijonborg, is the Council’s Chairman. The
Government’s intention is for the Council’s work to be based on
the premise that globalisation is essentially a desirable and positive
development.The Council will prepare a proposal well in advance
of the 2010 election outlining what Sweden needs in order to
stand strong in this era of globalisation.
“A Business Plan for Sweden in an international context” was the
theme at the 2006 Royal Technology Forum. Chairman Carl
Bennet presented the results of the “Business Plan for Sweden”
project. William W. Lewis of the McKinsey Global Institute, USA
described the links between globalisation, productivity, education
and markets. Dr. Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw, Chairman and Managing
Director of the Indian biotech company Biocon, described how
her company has achieved success by combining innovation with
cost-efficient production.

C A R L B E N N E T WANTS TO ST RENGTHEN
S W ED I S H K N OWLEDGE ENV IRONMENTS
In 2006 IVA’s important “Business Plan for Sweden” project headed by industrialist Carl Bennet was
completed. The project concluded that a global perspective, strong knowledge environments and greater
adaptability in line with customer needs are essential if Sweden is to be an attractive partner in the future.
Carl Bennet did not hesitate to take on the task of heading
IVA’s major “Business Plan for Sweden” project, which has
involved people from academia, industry and trade union
organisations.
“It is critical for the future of Swedish industry that we put
our situation in the world in perspective and find a structure
for steps to take to secure our future. The boundary breaching
nature of IVA promotes credibility and objectivity, while the
people participating in a project like this one have a wealth of
knowledge to impart, thanks to their qualifications and diverse
backgrounds. Both Sweden’s old and new governments agree
that the project’s initiatives are unique”, says Carl Bennet.
Carl Bennet says he is surprised by the extent of the willingness to change during the IVA project.
“I’m not surprised that people from the business community and trade unions have a positive attitude to change, but I
was unaware that there were so few stumbling blocks in the
old structures. People were very open to new solutions.”
Knowledge is crucial in Carl Bennet’s vision of a competitive
Sweden.
“People often say that here in Sweden we invest more in
research than most other countries, as a percentage of the
GNP. This is something we are quite simply compelled to do.
We are a small country and to achieve critical mass at our
research centres, it is essential for us to invest a much bigger
portion of our resources than big nations need to do.”
Carl Bennet also believes that Sweden needs to concentrate
its resources in areas where we can compete.
“We hold strong positions in a number of important areas.
Medicine and medical technology, vehicles, IT and the process industry are a few examples. In these fields we can create
strong knowledge environments to make Sweden an attractive
partner. But I believe we also need to promote research activity at smaller and regional universities. These institutions are
very important to local companies, and to raise the quality,
they also need resources to work with research,” says Carl
Bennet.
Carl Bennet’s vision of the future is the ability to adapt to
customer needs – an area that can be affected by both labour
law and tax rules.
“Swedish service companies have great opportunities for
growth and even to compete in an international service market. But we need to create regulatory structures based on customer needs that do not limit operations.”
Flexibility is a key word for Carl Bennet. The issue of work
hours is an area where we need greater flexibility. Another is
allowing small companies to have flexible types of employment.
These are issues that Carl Bennet wants to resolve through the
various parties in the labour market, supported by a positive
attitude from the Government and major corporations.
»It is critical for the future of Swedish industry
that we put our situation in the world in
perspective and find a structure for steps to take
to secure our future.«
“Those of us who represent major corporations need to
acknowledge that employment rules and regulations are not a
problem for us. It’s the really small businesses that need changes to be made so that they can dare to grow.”
The IVA project concluded that the most important factor
for competitiveness is knowledge and this is Carl Bennet’s personal opinion as well. More research, education of a higher
quality and individual planning for life-long learning are the
corner-stones for competitive Swedish industry.
“We need to understand that the countries we are used to
being competitive because of their low wages will soon be
competitive in the knowledge area as well. A country like
China is investing vast amounts in research, in both IT and
Life Sciences, and the number of university graduates is
increasing. But we shouldn’t be afraid of our own shadow. If a
Finnish rubber boot manufacturer can become one of the
world’s top IT companies, we should not be afraid of believing in our own potential.”

“IT WITHOUT BORDERS” OFFERS
SWEDEN GREAT OPPORTUNITIES
Sweden can create a leading role for itself in the global IT world. We have the capacity, expertise and ideas. What has
been lacking up to now is cohesive leadership and a clear picture of the various critical success factors.
This briefly summarises the conclusions of the IVA “IT without Borders” project. The project report proposed continuing
to work in an organised structure according to a balanced
scorecard model.
The project’s task was to list the main challenges that exist
in ensuring that Sweden retains a world-leading position in IT
or ITC. The project developed five critical success factors:
1. IT in products and processes: Swedish companies and organisations
should use IT more effectively and aim for greater economic and strategic
returns from their IT investments.
2.The innovation system. Sweden should create better conditions in which
Swedish IT companies can start up and grow. It should be easy to secure
financing.
3. Ensuring the supply of competence through education and basic
research. Swedish IT education programmes must be able to attract more
young people to study at a higher level. Foreign researchers and research
students must be encouraged to remain in Sweden. One means of doing
this is to stop talking merely about IT, which in itself is not exciting, but instead focus on interesting applications for IT.
4.Awareness of Swedish IT capabilities. The IT without Borders project
has shown that Sweden is good at IT, but many people believe that we
have fallen behind. In order to attract competence, it is important that an
accurate and favourable picture is spread in the Swedish and international
media.
5. Sweden’s relative efficiency advantages. Laws and regulations should
make it easier to run a business venture. Sweden must be a good alternative
in comparison to the countries that currently attract companies by offering
good support to establish businesses and lower taxes relating to R&D.
Håkan Eriksson, SeniorVice President, General Manager Research & Development
and ChiefTechnology Officer at Ericsson AB was the Chairman of the Steering
Committee for the project.
The conclusion from this project is that Sweden has more
advantages as an IT nation than many people think. We have
a good corporate culture and our organisations are a manageable size. It is easy for customers to come into contact with
the appropriate people, and top management is more accessible than in many other places. We have a good reputation in
terms of our ability to plan and implement complex IT projects. The IT without Borders project draw the conclusion that
Swedish companies work well as intermediaries for projects
being run by major corporations in low-cost countries.
The weaknesses are primarily related to the fact that there
is no cohesive leadership for IT issues. The sector needs to
become more attractive to recruit a sufficient number of qualified individuals.
The project suggests creating a permanent programme
office to drive the issues forward. This would be run under the
name Scorecard.se, where it would be possible to learn about
and follow up all of the five critical success factors listed by IT
without Borders.

NEW ARENA FOR ENVIRONMENTAL WORK
A great interest in environmental issues was clearly demonstrated
when the “Environmental Foresight” project was launched in a
packed Wallenberg Auditorium in August 2006.The background
to the project is that the future situation with respect to the
world’s resources – both goods and ser vices – will lead to constantly changing conditions for industry. The project’s Steering
Committee have representatives from both the private and public
sectors.The aim is to generate ideas and concrete proposals on
how various players can promote sustainable development.What
are the challenges we face? What driving forces exist?
The project’s approach and way of highlighting a number of
problems are both new and different in an environmental context. Part of the task will be to understand how Swedish research
and innovation systems can contribute to new and improved
opportunities for Swedish industry.
The project star ted with a number of preliminary studies.
These described Sweden’s strengths and environmental history,
changes in the various arenas for environmental work, forces driving development in Japan and the US and changes in global
resource flows resulting from globalisation.The studies provided a
basis for work by two exper t panels; one addressing the issue of
environmental work in the public sector, the other environmentally-driven structural transformation.They will provide ideas that
can make Swedish companies more competitive in the environmental field.
increased competitiveness in
the swedish processing industry
In 2006 the project “Increased Competitiveness in the Swedish
Processing Industry” was concluded. The report suggests various
activities and states who should act within the respective areas.
The purpose of “Increased Competitiveness in the Swedish
Processing Industry” was to describe the unique conditions that
exist in the processing industry in Sweden and identify factors
that impact the ability of companies to be competitive. One outcome of the project is that experiences and knowledge of pro-
“How can we develop Sweden’s processing industry?”This question was discussed at
the project’s concluding seminar on 22 February.The panel discussion participants
were: Nils-Göran Holmqvist, the Social Democrats’ representative on the Committee
on Industry andTrade; Jan Björklund, energy policy spokesperson for the Liberal Party;
Lars G Josefsson, CEOVattenfall; Jan Johansson, CEO Boliden and Sverker Martin-Löf,
Chairman of the Steering Committee for the project and President & CEO of SCA.
duction issues have been exchanged among different sectors and
between the industry and the participating organisations.
The proposed measures include a call for the Government to
provide long-term and competitive conditions for energy, create
the necessary conditions for effective shipping and logistics solutions, invest in research and education to meet the processing
industry’s needs, and simplify environmental management.
There is also a desire to see a stronger link between sector research institutes and industry by creating an industry research
programme.
The project also presented a proposal on the creation of a
production consortium to discuss joint steps that the industry
and politicians can take to make the industry more competitive.
The project was a cooperation of IVA, Metall (metal workers’
union), Swedish Forest Industries Federation, Pappers (the association of the Swedish pulp and paper industry), Swedish Plastics
and Chemical Federation, Swedish Association of the
Pharmaceutical Industry, SveMin, Swedish Steel Producers’
Association, Swedish Food Federation, Knowledge Foundation,
Nutek (Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth),
Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research and VINNOVA
(Swedish Government Agency for Innovation Systems). The
Chairman of the Steering Committee was Sverker Martin-Löf.

THE ENERGY ISSUE MUST BE RESOLVED
According to Sverker Martin-Löf who headed IVA’s project entitled “Increased Competitiveness in
the Swedish Processing Industry,” the energy problem is the main political issue that needs to be
resolved. Failure to do so would mean closures instead of development for the Swedish processing
industry. Now the energy issue is on the table and the Government is taking a serious look at it.
“The most important outcome of the IVA project on the
Swedish processing industry is that it brought energy issues
into the spotlight just in time for the election debates,” says
Sverker Martin-Löf. “We were concerned that the parties
would avoid addressing this difficult issue, but the project
report had a good impact on the debate. The effects were still
evident after the election and as a result, the new Government
is dealing with the issue.”
Sverker Martin-Löf notes that IVA’s broad-based approach
has been useful in connection with the processing industry
project.
“Cooperation within the framework of the project between
representatives from industry, trade unions and other players
has raised the level of credibility, which was essential in order
to get important issues concerning the processing industry on
the political agenda.”
“In the past it was possible to push political issues forward
by sitting down with politicians and experts in a round-table
setting. This doesn’t work any more,” says Sverker Martin-Löf.
The only issue of serious concern is energy.”
One reason for the difficulty in finding quick solutions for
the energy supply problem, according to Sverker Martin-Löf, is
that the negative effects come slowly.
“We are not closing down any factories in the short term.
There is a risk that investments will be cut or dry up altogether.
Closures may, in fact, be necessary in the long term, but it
seems to be difficult for public opinion and politicians to grasp
the fact that we need to find a solution quickly.
Sverker Martin-Löf believes that competition has been
eliminated in the energy industry and this is pushing prices up.
“We have seen a considerable transfer of capital from the
processing industry to the energy industry. Unfortunately, the
political and public opinion deadlock means that this money
cannot be used to invest, for example, in hydropower or nuclear power. If this were possible, prices could be lowered in the
future.
Sverker Martin-Löf believes that both nuclear power and
hydropower must be accepted as feasible solutions again.
»The processing industry in Sweden is not in any way an industry in crisis
that needs to be moved to low-cost countries. Competitiveness is strong.«
“Today it's public opinion that politicians react to. That’s why it
is important to make sure the key issues for industry are part of
the daily debate. The IVA report was also successful in capturing the interest of the media and was covered in news reports.”
The IVA project on competitiveness in the Swedish processing industry documented and studied needs within a number
of areas, such as education, energy, research etc. According to
Sverker Martin-Löf, Sweden has strong potential in most of
these areas.
“The processing industry in Sweden is not in any way an
industry in crisis that needs to be moved to low-cost countries.
Competitiveness is strong. Naturally, it’s important to maintain
what we have, but the situation is good in most areas. The
regional universities, for example, have contributed to both
recruitment and research. Sweden is a leader in most areas.
“The decision to stop hydropower came at a time when the
world looked very different. If we do not use our own natural
resources, we are making a rod for our own back. It will be
hard for us to compete despite the fact that the situation looks
good otherwise.”
Another area where Sverker Martin-Löf wants to see
changes is in environmental policy.
“It has proved a bad idea to allow those who can afford it to
pay for the mess they make. This can be a very dangerous
path. Instead we should do what we did in the past in Sweden
– set limits that apply to all. This needs to be done on a global
basis, however, otherwise it would be too unfair and the risk
would be a fear of investing where the costs are the highest,
even if this is perhaps where the most environmentally-friendly
practices are.”

R E S E A R C H A N D E D U C AT I O N
P RO P O S A L S F ROM THE UNIV ERS ITY OF
T H E F U T U R E PROJECT ARE PRES ENTED
“The University of the Future” was concluded at IVA’s Academy
Meeting in June 2006. The project resulted in a number of proposals, ideas and points of view regarding the future of research and
education, primarily within science, technology, medicine and economics. The project, which ran for just over one year, involved several players with links to higher education. The project’s Steering
Committee consisted of representatives from universities, government agencies, student organisations, businesses and research sponsors. IVA’s Chairman, Hans Dalborg, served as the project’s
chairman.
Three expert panels consisting of a broad range of players
from several sectors were an important element of the project. The panels were assigned to discuss in depth a number
of issues and challenges facing Swedish universities and to
draw up proposals for change. The panels’ respective areas
of focus were: funding instruments and sources; organisation and specialisation; and mobility, qualifications and recruitment.
The funding panel’s proposals focused on the need for a
quality evaluation system as a basis for government grants
for undergraduate, research and postgraduate programmes.
Transparent reporting systems and opportunities to obtain
funding from a variety of sources, e.g. by making donations
for research and education tax deductible and allowing the
ownership of property were other important proposals from
the panel.
An important theme from the organisation and specialisation panel was increasing strategic governance and allowing universities to develop their own profiles. Governing
bodies should be allowed to appoint presidents, who in turn
should have more freedom to allocate grants within the universities as they see fit. The panel also recommends greater
specialisation among universities, whereby some universities
would specialise in education and others in technology fields
that are important for their region.
The panel on mobility and recruitment emphasised the
importance of a more varied qualification system. Today,
research qualifications are dominant. The panel would like
to see a situation where instruction and collaborative
assignments were given a high value from a qualification
perspective than they have today. This would make it easier
for universities to build teams with appropriate expertise.
The panel would also like to see a greater exchange of ideas
14
between the academic world, society and industry. This
could be facilitated by the creation of a fund from which
universities could apply for funding to work with such
things as technology transfer or commissioned education
programmes.
In spring 2006 the panels concluded their work by presenting their proposals and arguments in three panel
reports. This was followed by a university tour where universities were given the opportunity to provide feedback
on the panels’ proposals. International comparisons drawn,
for example, from an international symposium and field
trips to countries such as the UK, the Netherlands and
Belgium also provided background for the project’s
conclusions.
A synthesis report contained a number of proposals and
recommendations. This report could also serve as an
action plan to achieve the vision of making Sweden one of
the most competitive and dynamic knowledge-based economies.
The results from the project clearly demonstrate that
individual players cannot bear the responsibility alone for

The project sends messages to the players that can help
bring about the necessary changes. Among other things,
the project suggests that universities develop strategies for
specialisation and forming alliances, and work more
aggressively to broaden their income base. Politicians need
to give the major universities more independence and also
facilitate and encourage clear leadership. Research funding
should be provided with a longer perspective, taking into
account the universities’ own strategies to a greater extent
than today and, in general, there is a need for more strategic alliances between universities and other players.
Chairman of the panel Funding instruments and resources
was Lars Bertmar, former Chairman of Carnegie AB.
Chairman of the panel Organisation and specialisation was
Cecilia Schelin Seidegård, CEO, Karolinska University
Hospital.
Chairman of the panel Mobility, qualifications and recruitment was Ingegerd Palmér, Rector of Mälardalen University.
Head Project Manager was Christer Heinegård, Vice
Rector at Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences.
THE STUDENT COUNCIL BRINGS STUDENTS INTO IVA
The Student Council consists of some 15 members who together
represent most of the country’s universities and colleges.Through
the Student Council, IVA wants to include students in IVA’s activities,
spread topical information and encourage students to participate in
the debate and discussion that takes place in IVA contexts. In autumn
2006 the Student Council participated, among other things, in the
Business Executives Council’s Annual Meeting and at IVA’s Division
VII meeting on the theme of “Spin-off effects of technology developed at universities.” Representatives from the Student Council also
played important roles in both the Steering Committee and expert
panels for the “University of the Future” project.
new and expanded
mentor programme
In 2006 the first mentor programme arranged by IVA and
Innovation Bridge Stockholm, Mentor4Research, was concluded
with a conference at IVA on 1 June.The next round started in 2006
and will continue until summer 2007.This time the programme has
been expanded to a total of 15 pairs of mentors and researchers,
almost double the number in the first programme.
The candidates selected for the IVA mentor programme are
well-qualified researchers at universities and research institutes.
The mentors are business-minded and experienced individuals
from the business world who have been hand picked based on
the individual needs of the researchers.
The purpose of the mentor programme is to give researchers
an opportunity to learn about the mechanisms of the business
world as well as to forge contacts.Within the framework of the
mentor programme, an initial evaluation is made of the commercial potential of extending individual research projects.This will
make it easier for researchers to work with a company or form
their own company. Some researchers in the programme may
realise they are not interested in working with commercialisation,
while others may change the focus of their research.The level of
ambition is high; the goal is to create the best mentor programme
in Europe for this group of researchers.
After completing the mentor programme, the researchers
and mentors become members of an alumni network to facilitate
future contacts.
Kajsa Boström was one of the student representatives participating in the
University of the Future project, as a member of the Steering Committee.
FP7 – EUROPE – A WORLD LEADER IN RESEARCH
How can Sweden get the maximum benefit out of the EU’s new
framework programme, FP7? Answering this question was the main
objective of an IVA project in 2006.The project has established
that Sweden needs a strategy for its participation in EU research,
and that Sweden’s participation should be co-ordinated at all
levels.The project also concluded that, although Sweden has been
successful within the EU’s earlier research programmes, some
improvement is needed, mainly in the area of funding. Sweden
needs to find the means and the resources to be better able to
match EU research project funding. By the time a project is approved by the EU it has already undergone a stringent approval
process and funds should be available for matching without further
appraisal. Sweden should also find ways to make it easier for small
and medium-sized businesses to participate, because the initial
costs can often be too great of a burden for them to shoulder.

variety and specialisation will
make more creative universities
Hans Dalborg chaired the Steering Committee of IVA’s “University of the Future” project. He wants
to see universities in Sweden that are cast in many different forms and where different types of
expertise lead to qualifications that are of equal value.
“We have too many formal rules and requirements. Universities must be allowed to be developed
by the creativity that exists within them,” says Hans Dalborg.
Variety and dynamics are important concepts for Hans
Dalborg. He believes that the Swedish universities of the future
must have the independence to develop the qualities that they
themselves feel they can compete with. It might be research in
a specific field, education programmes or strong cooperation
with the local business community. The governing bodies
should consist of people with the relevant knowledge who are
committed and who work with a university-appointed president to form a creative management team for both the universities activities´ and funding.
“This will give us networks of universities with different
specialties, but that maintain a high quality in their fields.
Quality should be one of the more important criteria for universities and their funding. If we allow universities to be assessed along business lines, development will take place
naturally. Universities need opportunities to work things out
for themselves, rather than having the rules dictated from
above”, says Hans Dalborg.
»We need a more
differentiated qualification
system with different
career paths.«
Hans Dalborg is the Chairman of Nordea. He has also been
the Chairman of IVA since 2004 and was the Chairman of the
Steering Committee of IVA’s University of the Future project
which was concluded in June 2006. As Chairman of Uppsala
University as well, he is very familiar with the academic world.
Combining a commitment to IVA and to variety is easy.
“Unfortunately, it is often the case that only one opinion is permitted at a time. At IVA discussion is encouraged and there is a
forum for testing and developing different opinions. The people working on important issues are very smart, and we should
not underestimate the ripple effect this has. The problem with
IVA is that our ‘loud-speaker equipment’ is still small, even if
we have become more visible in recent years.”
Hans Dahlberg wants to see variety in the future in terms of
the focus of Swedish universities and to see more different
forms of financing. The Government should invest more
money, particularly to build up basic knowledge, while funding from collaboration with businesses and research financiers
should also increase, as should private investment.
“Sweden is not a donation-friendly country. Here the US
universities have a major advantage. Making donations tax
deductible would open up more funding opportunities, particularly when universities become more specialised,” says Hans
Dalborg. He also feels that variety should be visible within universities.
“We need a more differentiated qualification system with
different career paths. Researchers are not necessarily the best
people to hold courses. It would be interesting to see a thesis
that looks into whether there is any proof of this. A new qualification system is currently being assessed and I believe the
IVA University of the Future project will provide very useful
background for this work.”
Hans Dalborg is happy that the results of the University of
the Future project are not in the form of a “dead document,”
instead they are being incorporated into discussions with universities and other parties.
“Now I only hope we will avoid the risk of the parties hesitating and passing the buck back and forth. Right now though,
the ball is in the Government’s court.”

BUSINESS EXECUTIVES COUNCIL
–
E X C H A N G E B E T W E E N AC A D E M I A A N D I N D U S T RY
A NETWORK FOR ACADEMIA
AND INDUSTRY
IVA’s Business Executives Council is an important part of IVA’s
network. The Council’s activities engage individuals with experience
from a variety of fields and backgrounds and this provides opportunities for a broad exchange of ideas. In 2006 the theme of the
Council’s breakfast meetings was innovation and enterprise.
er between research and industry, said that there are no templates for succeeding with a new business venture.
One successful attempt was presented by Vasasensor. Sofia
Johnson is the CEO of the company, which has it origins in
new sensor technology and the School of Entrepreneurship at
Chalmers University of Technology. The Connect network
organisation helped with finding the appropriate competence
in the field, which was vital for the company’s development.
Ivo Zander, a professor at Uppsala University, emphasised
in his speech the importance of having the right attitude.
“Running a business should be exciting and enjoyable.
Attitudes can be influenced – both yours and those of others,”
said Ivo Zander.
This past year the network has grown to include 33 new businesses and organisations and now has just over 200 member
companies. For IVA, the Business Executives Council helps
strengthen relations with industry and the business community, which is vital for IVA’s ability to succeed in its various tasks.
The topics and speakers include:
Building a global brand with local entrepreneurs
with Lennart Björk, Chairman, Gant Company AB.
The annual meeting of IVA´s Business Excecutive Council was attended by
Professor Mathias Uhlén, KTH, CEO Lars Pettersson, Sandvik, State Secretary
Jöran Hägglund, Ministry of Enterprise and CEO Sofia Johansson,Vasasensor.
The theme of the Business Executives Council’s Annual
Meeting on 16 November was also “Innovation and
Enterprise.” State Secretary Jöran Hägglund of the Ministry of
Enterprise, Energy and Communications, presented the new
government’s policies and emphasised the importance of cultivating innovation within companies and the process from
research to enterprise.
Sandvik’s CEO Lars Pettersson described how about a
quarter of the Sandvik researchers’ time is spent on basic research. Lars Pettersson also pointed out that fundamental
research can lead to innovation, including in areas that are not
immediately associated with the research in question.

a lot to learn from brazil
IVA’s Industrial Research Committee (IFG) has fifteen members
who work with R&D issues in various ways within a number of
organisations and companies.The Committee arranges five field
trips in Sweden each year as well as an extended overseas trip.The
purpose of IFG is to provide members with fresh ideas on ways to
run research & development activities.
In 2006 Brazil was the destination for a fact-finding trip that
covered a lot of ground. Brazil has a rapidly growing market. Brazil’s
openness towards the outside world, its technology network and
the foreign companies and institutions there, as well as the coun-
try’s special tax cuts for companies conducting R&D inside the
country, made this destination even more exciting. Nine of IFG’s 15
members joined Chairman Bengt Lindberg and Secretary Ingrid
Jansson on the trip.
São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro were the hubs for the trip. In São
Paulo the delegates visited a number of companies and research
institutes, and in Rio de Janeiro the group encountered “The
National Engineering Academy – ANE of Brazil” and met Sweden’s
Consul-General Louise Andersson-Carares. They also had the
opportunity to learn about living and working in Brazil.

foresight for emergency management
Global terrorism, pandemics and serious weather conditions are
threats we live with today. Hurricane Gudrun and the cable fire in
Kista showed us how various businesses that are critical for society
are becoming increasingly dependent on one another. The risk exists
that emergencies will spread from sector to sector in a ripple effect.
As a result of deregulation and privatisation in many areas – from
electricity to care – the business community has been forced to play an
ever increasing role in emergencies.This calls for new forms of cooperation between the public and private sectors.
Director General of the Swedish Emergency Management Agency,Ann-Louise
Eksborg, recognises the value of IVA’s unique contact network.
What are the critical dependencies? How can they be managed? How
can the business community and the public sector work together?
These are some of the questions the Swedish Emergency
Management Agency (SEMA) has been commissioned by the
Government to address. SEMA has therefore star ted work on
“Foresight for security” which consists of two parts: the SEMA project
“Critical Dependencies in Society” and the IVA project “Emergency
Management Foresight.”
The SEMA project will analyse current dependencies and the IVA
project will identify trends in a 10–15 year perspective and show new
dependencies and threats that may arise.
On 28 September SEMA’s Emergency Management Teamwork
organised a conference in conjunction with IVA’s Annual Meeting at
which the project was presented and discussed. On this occasion the
Director General of the Swedish Emergency Management Agency,
Ann-Louise Eksborg, expressed her views on the importance of the
project.
“Our partnership with IVA is focusing on the future. Naturally, we
should not believe that our ‘Foresight’ can predict exactly what future
society and dependencies will be like, but it will provide us with a deeper understanding and more complex picture to support us in the current development of our emergency management system,” said
Ann-Louise Eksborg, pointing out also that:
“If we take this development seriously – and we should – it is more
than likely that the analysis on which we will base our future emergency management system will not only be carried out within the sphere
of government agencies, but also within the type of open academic
environment that IVA, with its unique network of contacts, represents.”
railway
development
The project entitled “The Future Railway Infrastructure” originated from the IVA project “Cooperation for Growth.” In 2006
a preliminary study was carried out in preparation for a longterm project for the purpose of developing the railway industry
in Sweden. The goal is to build long-term cooperation.
Cooperation will bring a better supply of expertise and knowledge to the industry, help Swedish industry develop in this
area and inject Swedish points of view in the development
debate at the European level.
The steering committee has representatives from throughout the railway industry. A number identified of strategic challenges form a basis for the project work. The questions to be
answered are: How can we capitalise on the fact that Sweden
was deregulated early on? Which competencies in the field
should be preserved? How can our expertise and experience be
used to increase exports? How can Sweden increase its participation in the cooperation processes in the railway sector in
Europe?

NANO STRATEGY – MAJOR INVESTMENT IN SMALL DETAILS
Nanotechnology will have an impact on all of our futures. Most people
agree on this point. Nanotechnology makes it possible to produce products with entirely new properties, and the expectations are high for breakthroughs in such different fields as medicine, energy-efficient lighting and
water purification.The list of conceivable application areas is much longer
than this and examples of commercial products already exist today.
IVA took the initiative to create a national nano strategy for Sweden
back in the beginning of 2005, and it is hoped that this strategy will make an
impression in international contexts as well, such as the EU’s Seventh
Framework Programme for Research (FP7), which will be in force from
January 2007.
Examples of the proposals are:
> Strengthen nanotechnology competence within fundamental areas such
as materials science, bionanoscience etc.
> Support basic research in chemistry, biology and biomedicine, especially
where different disciplines intersect.
> Strengthen the research infrastructure for nanotechnology; create nanotechnology tools, e.g. at industry research institutes. Such tools could be
used for basic nanoscience as well as for more applied projects.
> Create a programme around themes, e.g. five projects costing SEK 3 – 5
million each. Possible themes could be energy technology, biotechnology
with medicine, material technology or information technology.
> Strengthen innovation processes for nanotechnology by, among other
things, facilitating enterprise and by transferring nanotechnology to smaller
businesses.
> Allocate resources for research into the risks and consequences associated with nanotechnology.
Nanotechnology’s potential is so vast that many believe it will become a
new base technology and be used in a multitude of applications.This is one
of the reasons the risks need to be assessed to a greater extent than today.
The Swedish nano strategy project was run on a broad basis, looking at
what has been done at the international level, how the field has been developing in Sweden and which markets exist or may be expected to exist in
the future.A number of conferences have also been held at which different
aspects and applications were presented and where there was an opportunity for debate.
A national strategy has now been created. It was presented at a conference on 20 December 2006 and marked the conclusion of the IVA
project and the beginning of a period of exciting development.
This picture showing a “nano bouquet” was taken with advanced technology
developed at the University of Cambridge Nanoscale Science Laboratory by
Prof. Mark Welland and Ghim Wei Ho PhD.
power circle – promoting development in
electric power engineering
The Power Circle association was formed in 2005 at the initiative of ABB, Vattenfall, Bombardier and Svenska Kraftnät. The Government
allocated funds to IVA to build up Elkraftringen, the purpose of which is to spread knowledge on Sweden’s expertise in electric power engineering, initiate a discussion within the industry on development activities and research, and present the case for maintaining the supply of
competence and R&D funding.
In 2006 Power Circle, organised or participated in a number of
seminars that have helped bring about new targeted research
projects and continued industrial initiatives. Power Circle was
assigned by the Swedish Energy Agency in 2006 to act as a
national co-ordinator for the recently formed ENARD
(Electricity Networks Analysis, Research and Development)
initiated by the IEA. Power Circle has communicated the opinions of the Swedish electricity industry on EU research at
meetings with the EU’s Energy Directorate in Brussels.
Power Circle has distributed information on electric power
engineering’s role in the Swedish economy, and presented
world-leading research environments, such as the Centre of
Excellence in Electric Power Engineering at the Royal
Institute of Technology in Stockholm.
One of the challenges highlighted by Power Circle in
2006 is the ability to handle the generational shift. It is estimated that around 500 qualified individuals need to be recruited into the electric power industry each year over the
next ten to twelve years.
Power Circle, which had 19 members in 2006 – mainly
companies and research institutions, had a budget of around
SEK 2.5 million.

F O R E S I G H T A N D S T R AT E G I E S
NEW IVA MEMBER WITH THE
WILL TO CHANGE
Swedish universities need more direct funding from the Government in order to conduct strategic planning
for their activities. This opinion was expressed by Harriet Wallberg-Henriksson, President of Karolinska
Institutet (KI), the Swedish university that is typically at the top of the international rankings.
“Today’s universities resemble research hotels. A financial
investment in the foremost Swedish universities would give us
the opportunity to set our own priorities, and in the long term,
improve Sweden’s already strong position in several scientific
fields,” says Harriet Wallberg-Henriksson.
2006 was an interesting year for Harriet WallbergHenriksson. In addition to her work as President of KI, she
became a member of the Government’s new Globalisation
Council and of the European Commission’s expert group to
promote European research and competitiveness. In 2006
Harriet Wallberg-Henriksson also became a member of IVA’s
Division X, Biotechnology, and she was an active participant
in IVA’s “Business Plan for Sweden” project. One of this project’s proposals was, in fact, the creation of a globalisation
council.
“The Globalisation Council is an interesting initiative on
the part of the Government and the Minister for Education
and Research, particularly due to its long-term perspective –
we will work until 2010. Karin Markides, President of
Chalmers University of Technology, and myself are the representatives from the academic world and we will be working
together to create the necessary conditions so that universities
can benefit from developments in Swedish industry and the
Swedish economy.”
Harriet Wallberg-Henriksson feels that one difference for
universities today compared to in the past is the emphasis on
contacts with the community. Previously, researchers at universities could be relatively isolated, but today proximity to
industry and society is an important aspect of their work.
“A lot has happened and it has happened fast,” says Harriet
Wallberg-Henriksson. Now we need to be better at understanding the value of contacts with industry and society.
Today, for example, not many researchers or educators come
back to us after working in industry for a while, and I think this
would be a good thing.”
On the financial front the changes have been dramatic.
Many financiers work at times in a chaotic way.
“Sometimes it’s just like a circus,” says Harriet Wallberg-
Henriksson. “We often need to negotiate with numerous parties individually about matters such as overhead costs, and
each financier has his own routines and rules. Another problem is that more and more financiers have a co-financing
requirement, i.e. that the university should take on a large portion of the financing burden. One conceivable improvement
here would be if players such as Vinnova were commissioned
by the Government to allocate funds to supplement funding
from the EU, Swedish foundations and foreign financiers. This
would enable universities to apply for funds from this source to
fully cover infrastructure costs.
»The Globalisation Council is an interesting
initiative on the part of the Government and
the Minister for Education and Research,
particularly due to its long-term perspective.«
Harriet Wallberg-Henriksson believes that the EU’s new
Framework Programme, FP7, is on the whole a positive thing.
“I am very pleased that the budget is being increased by a full
40 per cent, and that there is a great emphasis on health. But
the bureaucracy is still very difficult and expensive, especially
if, like KI, you are coordinating several large projects. KI is,
however, in a better position than most to work with EU projects after the creation of the Grants Office. This is where people can find out about upcoming application rounds, forge
contacts in Brussels, and where KI researchers can get tips on
the best way to apply for research funding.”
The next research bill will be in 2008, which means that
work is already under way. Harriet Wallberg-Henriksson
would like to see a higher level of direct funding to universities
in this document.
“We have been successful in coordinating our contacts with
the Ministry of Education and Research with other faculties of
medicine in Sweden. Also, we have a good relationship with
the Ministry, so we are hopeful for the future,” says Harriet
Wallberg-Henriksson.

TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER AND ENTERPRISE
HEALTHY SUCCESSFUL COMPANIES LEARN FROM EACH OTHER IN 3F
Healthy Successful Companies, also called 3F, is a national
IVA programme funded by AFA, VINNOVA and Alecta.
The purpose of 3F is to bring together health and work environment research expertise with the practical experience of
Swedish companies. 3F aims to show that it pays to invest in
work environments and organisations. Many companies are
already working with these issues, but it is often dealt just
under the top management level or as a side issue. This could
be due in part to the fact that, unlike in areas such as production and sales, it is hard to accurately measure success. The
hope is that health and work environment issues will be
dealt with as strategic priorities within organisations with the
help of more research and better measurement methods.
One important reason for IVA’s involvement in the project is
that the Academy is a good platform for information gathering and exchange for the business world.
The participants join one of the three networks that have
been formed so far: 3F West, 3F Mälardalen and 3F South.
Each network consists of around ten companies ranging
from large to small. Within the networks, HR directors, in
particular, meet and exchange experiences, and each company
draws up a project plan to be implemented within their
respective organisations.
A number of interesting projects emerged in 2006.
Research groups were brought in to study the links between
healthy companies and productivity. One company for example,
launched an initiative to ensure that older employees are able
to continue to work until retirement age. The networks arranged their own meetings, seminars and workshops, and a national
seminar also took place.
A leadership seminar was held in 2006 and a seminar on
so-called psychological contracts was arranged by IVA on 6
December. Professor David Guest of King’s College, London,
described how changing the types of positions offered and
implementing tougher employment terms can have a psychological impact on people in business and industry.
The project is being run by a Steering Committee consisting of representatives from the business and research worlds
as well the project’s financial sponsors. The Chairman is Leif
Johansson, President and CEO of Volvo.
science & everyday life –
aspects of energy
»It is extremely important to keep
HR issues in the spotlight.«
Professor David Guest, King´s College, London
In 2006 IVA and KVA (the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences)
worked together on a project focusing on energy issues entitled
“Science & Everyday Life – Aspects of Energy.”The main purpose
of the project is to describe the complexity of energy issues, provide the facts and present different alternatives. Research, interviews, seminars and activities based on various themes have been
compiled into a popular science book on energy. IVA and KVA
want to use the book to generate interest in how various energy
issues can intersect in science and everyday life, and also explain
how the issues are connected, both over time and across national
borders. Science and everyday perspectives are interwoven in the
book as we follow a Swedish family and their relationship with
energy on a daily basis.

s e m i na r o n g r e e n c a r s i va ´ s g i f t f o r t h e k i n g
In honour of His Majesty King Carl XVI Gustaf ’s birthday this past
spring, IVA arranged an international seminar on the development
of green cars. His Majesty’s interest in both cars and the environment is well known and documented.
When the seminar took place in October, MIT professor, John
B Heywood, maintained that it is possible to develop traditional
engines in less than 20 years that use a third less petrol. Hybrid
technology can provide even greater savings. John B Haywood,
one of the world’s leading exper ts in combustion engines, is
doubtful about the possibility of using cars like those we drive
today when the number of cars will increase from 800 million to
an estimated two billion.
Mats Alaküla, a professor in Lund, was optimistic about a largescale investment in electric hybrids in Sweden.They can be charged with 10 per cent of Sweden’s electricity production and at a
time when electricity consumption is otherwise low.The technology needs to be developed further, however, to ensure good performance.
Toyota’s Vice President, Kazuhiko Miyadera, also has a positive
attitude towards electric hybrids, but he believes that consumers
need to actively seek out and choose the solutions with the least
possible impact on the environment.Toyota invested in the development of green cars early on, with the goal to be able to build
one million such cars by 2010. Development is taking place and it
is not yet clear which technology will be the dominant one in
future production.The hybrid is, however, a favourite of Toyota’s
senior management.
The seminar was supported by the car industry and the Swedish
Environmental Protection Agency. Representatives from the car
industry were in attendance and one of them was Scania’s CEO
Leif Östling. He pointed out that old vehicles, especially lorries,
pollute more than new ones and therefore should be subject to
higher taxes.
Volvo’s Vice President, Fredrik Arp, stressed the importance of
teaching consumers to choose environmentally-friendly alternatives, par ticularly the consumers of the future – children – who
need to learn more about this field. According to the Volvo VP,
awareness of environmental and sustainability issues should be
part of the curriculum starting at pre-school.
His Majesty the King has been interested in cars for many years.
reception for members of
parliament
His Majesty the King, here with IVA’s President LenaTreschowTorell, in the
Wallenberg Auditorium to take part in the gift he received from IVA:A seminar
about the latest developments in green cars.
On 8 November IVA, in a joint arrangement with RIFO (an
association of Swedish members of parliament and researchers), invited MPs to a reception at IVA to listen to presentations by the Managing Director Lena Treschow Torell and a
number of her colleagues on the year’s technology news,
illustrated by many exciting images. The main theme was life
sciences and their significance for Sweden in the globalised
world. Many MPs have joined and it was good to see that
many newly elected members were among the guests.

pioneering
education is a
theme for the 2006
medallists
iva’s great gold medal for 2006 was awarded to Professor
Lars H Zetterberg for his work developing telecommunication
theory and signal processing academic programmes. Lars H
Zetterberg received this distinction from IVA in recognition of
the fact that his work in education since the 1960s has had a
major impact on Sweden’s competitiveness within telecommunication.
Lars H Zetterberg feels that his teaching is the most important work he has done, but his technology initiatives have also
been highly significant for developments in modern imaging
technology, among other things.
Lars H Zetterberg was employed by FOA for just over ten
years. He has also worked at SAAB and the University of
Southern California. In 1964 he became a professor of telecommunication theory at Lund University’s Faculty of Engineering.
He worked as a professor at the Royal Institute of Technology
(KTH) in Stockholm from 1965 until he retired in 1990. Since
then Lars H Zetterberg has been an active Professor Emeritus at
KTH’s Dept. of Signals, Sensors & Systems.
iva’s gold medal 2006 was awarded to Prof. Jan Lisinski
for his successful work in the field of architecture. He has worked
as an architect on Drottningholm Palace and Gripsholm Palace
and as a cathedral architect in Stockholm. He believes that conservation is about working with the intrinsic qualities of a building, by listening and interpreting. Jan Lisinski points out that in
the beginning of the last century, all of the major architects
worked with conservation, but that much of this expertise has
disappeared due to a lack of interest among the architects of the
mid-1900s. Since that time, efforts have been made to build up
this area of expertise again.
Jan Lisinski graduated as an architect from KTH in 1973, and
in 1994 he became a professor of architectural conservation at
the Royal University College of Fine Arts’ School of Architecture
in Stockholm. Today Jan Lisinski works as a guest professor in
architectural conservation at Gotland University and with projects at Drottningholm Palace, Stockholm Cathedral, and the
Klara and Jacob churches in Stockholm.
professor margareta norell bergendahl was awarded
IVA’s Gold Medal 2006 for her groundbreaking contributions
within industrial product development. As a professor of
Integrated Product Development at KTH, she has focused on finding ways to successfully combine technology and the humanities.
IVA motivated its decision citing the fact that needs change
quickly, and for this reason, product development must be efficient. The solution is to work with product development in close
contact with users and to take into account both functionality
and production.
In 1997 Margareta Norell Bergendahl created a new subject
area at KTH called “Integrated Product Development” and was
the first professor in the area. She is also Vice President at KTH
and as such is responsible for long-term recruitment, equality and
maintaining the supply of competence.
professor lennart sandholm was awarded IVA’s Gold
Medal 2006 for his distinguished work with development and
education in the area of total quality. Lennart Sandholm has
made lasting contributions in both Sweden and abroad, particularly in China.
Lennart Sandholm has effectively shown the importance of
quality for the economy. Over the years he has worked in education in such organisations as SIDA and the UN Industrial
Development Organisation (UNIDO). His books have been
translated into several languages.
Lennart Sandholm has worked with quality control since
1958 when he started in the industry. In 1961 he became Quality
Control Manager at Electrohelios. Lennart Sandblom was then
appointed head of the central quality control department. He has
subsequently acted as Managing Director and Chairman of several companies with an emphasis on education and business
development and a focus on total quality.
In 1981 he was invited to visit China to provide education on
the importance of the quality approach. His book entitled “Total
Quality Control At Enterprise Level” has been translated into
nine languages.

AWA R D S A N D P R I Z E S
the scientific media prize
Michael Borgert of Swedish Radio won the 2006 Scientific
Media Prize for a piece in the radio programme Vetandets
värld (World of Knowledge) entitled “Does music make us
smarter?” According to the jury, the piece sparked the imaginations of the listeners and provided a surprising insight into
brain research. “The goal of increasing the general public’s
knowledge and understanding of science and technology was
achieved through inspired journalism.”
IVA and the Foundation for Science Information (SVI) have
jointly awarded the Scientific Media Prize since 2000 to an editorial staff or journalist who, according to the jury, has done
excellent journalistic work with a scientific connection during
the year. The purpose of the award is to encourage journalists
to take an interest in science and technology. In 2006 the
Scientific Media Prize was awarded for the final time.

telephone for the hearing impaired
leads to chester carlson award
Jonas Beskow at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm
has received the Chester Carlson Award.This award is conferred
for prominent research work in the IT field.The innovation makes
it possible for the hearing impaired to have a normal telephone
conversation. The technology is based on three-dimensional
computer animation of the speaker’s face as the sounds are
transformed into lip movements in an animated face.
Motivation:“For the outstanding achievement of giving a voice
a face to improve communication between people and computers, for example in a dialogue system and between people, particularly the hearing-impaired and in noisy environments.”
STEN GUSTAFSSON SCHOLARSHIP FOR
POSTGRADUATE RESEARCH
Sören Sjölander, professor of innovation technology at
Chalmers University of Technology, is the recipient of a
scholarship of SEK 400,000 from the Sten Gustafsson Fond
for the creation of a postgraduate research programme in
entrepreneurship.
“I am delighted that we will now have the opportunity to
create such a programme,” says Sören Sjölander.
The goal is a 10-credit postgraduate programme, where
the participants bring their own research projects and try to
develop them into concrete business concepts or perhaps
even a start-up company. The course will cover subjects such
as business development, project management and entrepreneurship.

SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY FOR ALL, NTA
Today 22 municipalities and 10 independent schools are members
of the association that was formed from the “Science and
Technology for All” project (NTA). NTA is being developed by IVA
in cooperation with the Royal Swedish Academy of Science.
NTA’s goal is for pre-school to year six classes in Sweden to
work with more investigative methods by having access to themed
experiment materials. NTA works on a long-term basis and
schools must sign a contract with NTA in order to receive materials and support.Training of teachers and continuous evaluation of
their work is part of the NTA concept. NTA also involves local
cooperation between schools, municipalities, the business community and higher education.The goal is to support science and
technology teachers who teach pupils up to year nine.
To increase the pool of knowledge for NTA, IVA has been
working with the Swedish Research Council since 2001 to run
the “Children Look to the Future” project.The aim is to generate
more interest in technology by encouraging children to formulate
their ideas about the future. It has proved very useful to ask for
their input and make connections between technology/natural
sciences and everyday situations.
“Children Look to the Future” has worked with different activities, including concept competitions, conducting surveys, handbook for teachers and creating an exhibition that will tour the
country’s science centres.
In 2006 a competition was held in cooperation with the Arla
dairy enabling the project to communicate information on the
theme “How will the world function in 2025?” on eight million
cartons of milk.The questions concerned what our homes, food
and lives will be like in a fictional city called Framtida. For more
information: www.framtida.nu.
During the fall of 2006 the project "Children look to the future" appeared on
cartons of milk throughout the country.
MR FUGLESANG THE FIRST SWEDE IN SPACE
At 2.47 a.m. on 10 December (the day of the Nobel Prize
Ceremony), Christer Fuglesang became the first Swede in space.
On 12 December he made the longest space walk so far and
this was followed by two more successful space walks outside
the space station by the Swedish astronaut. For twelve days
Christer Fuglesang worked alongside his colleagues from other
countries to repair and add to the International Space Station.
IVA has been involved in Sweden’s participation in space research
and space technology for many years and IVA President, Lena
Treschow Torell, was an invited guest at Christer Fuglesang’s
departure from Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
Space research was a theme at IVA’s 2005 Annual Meeting
when President Lena Treschow Torell was joined on stage by
Christer Fuglesang. Now he has achieved his goal and Sweden
has become par t of the physical work on the International
Space Station. One of the personal items Christer Fuglesang
took with him on his space journey was an IVA pin.
Christer Fuglesang – first Swede in space!
Inset: IVA’s gold pin, which went along on
the space journey.

a n abstr ac t of acade my activit i e s
IVA is a greenhouse for ideas and within the twelve divisions – which are divided by subject area and to which IVA members
are assigned – ideas for various projects are hatched. Each division holds four meetings a year at which members discuss topical issues within their respective domain. When the discussions are of general interest, the public and the media are invited.
Below is a sample of what came out of IVA’s division meetings in 2006.
division iv – chemical engineering
common sense and research fights chemophobia
Many people regard chemistry and chemical products as
threats, which has prompted some researchers and people in
the industry to talk about chemophobia. Should we not, instead
of being afraid of chemicals, get a better understanding of the
actual risks associated with them? This was the theme of a
meeting arranged by IVA’s Division IV on 21 September. The
following questions were also discussed: What impact is EU
legislation having on chemical development? What research is
being carried out and how do these areas relate to each other?
division xii – information technology
mobile tv is already a hit
Mobile and digital technology for TV, phone and other media
have been the source of much discussion within IVA’s Division
XII. On 14 November the Division arranged a seminar on
mobile TV technology. Among the participants were technology and media companies, and a number of researchers.
The technology for TV over mobile phones and so-called
pod TV devices, and the necessary standards being developed
ENGINEERING EDUCATION UNDER THE MICROSCOPE
Are today’s engineering degree programmes maintaining a
European perspective, are they effective? This was the theme of
IVA’s Academy Meeting on 29 March when the Swedish National
Agency for Higher Education’s study on today’s engineering degree programmes in Sweden was presented and discussed.The
study shows that the Swedish education programmes maintain a
very high standard in terms of quality, particularly at the most
prominent universities. On the other hand, only 20 per cent of
technology students finish their degrees on schedule.To improve
that, the engineering programmes should cover more material
on environmentally-friendly and economically sustainable technology, and entrepreneurship should be emphasised to a greater
extent. At the meeting a John and Margaretha Aspengren
Memorial Foundation scholarship was awarded for the first time.
The purpose of this foundation is to promote a better understanding between engineering sciences and humanitarian disciplines. The first scholarship of SEK 100,000 went to technology
historian Arne Kaiser.
for mobile TV technology were presented. Digital TV and the
economic aspects were debated, for example: In what proportion of the country is it economically viable to provide digital
TV service? This issue is easier to address in the case of small,
densely populated countries like Japan.
division x – biotechnology
Resistance to antibiotics is a threat we have been aware of for
quite some time. What is being done to find new solutions to
deal with this threat? This was the theme of IVA’s Division X
meeting on 27 September.
Participants at the meeting heard that large pharmaceutical companies today prefer to focus on research to find cures
for aids or cancer than new drugs against infectious diseases.
Scientists from Umeå University and spin-off company Innate
Pharmaceuticals, for example, described results from research
on so-called low molecular virulence blockers. These block
the negative effect of bacteria on humans, but do not stunt
growth. Using this method, scientists believe that it should be
possible to avoid developing resistant bacteria.
SEMINAR FOCUSES ON SELLING TECHNOLOGY
How can technology-based companies achieve international success? A good invention combined with using knowledge and raw
materials effectively is a prerequisite for lasting success. But to
succeed internationally it is essential to have staff and technical
capacity to carry out maintenance and provide other forms of
after-market support.These were a few proposals raised at the
Academy Meeting on 30 November on the theme of
InternationalTechnology Sales.A starting point for discussion was
the Swedish companies that was successful internationally in
1900s, such as Atlas Copco and SKF. Their success was largely
attributed to their insight into the importance of local presence
and developing products in consultation with customers. The
determination to develop technology and be innovative is one of
Sweden’s strengths.

“Imagine how wonderful to live in a country that can actually
offer my grandchildren the best possible life.” This was how
IVA’s President Lena Treschow Torell began her speech at
IVA’s 87th Annual Meeting.
The theme for the day was “Life – life sciences.” Among
the 900 or so people present in Stockholm Concert Hall
was HRH Crown Princess Victoria and Minister for
Education and Research, Lars Leijonborg. Following the
meeting, the guests gathered for a banquet with entertainment and dancing in Stockholm City Hall.
HRH Crown PrincessVictoria was the guest of honour at IVA’s 87th Annual Meeting, here talking to IVA’s Chairman Hans Dalborg (top left).The guests included Minister for
Education and Research, Lars Leijonborg. President LenaTreschowTorell had the opportunity to convey some viewpoints to the new Government, to the minister directly (top

IVA’s Conference Centre
is now better than ever
IVA’s Conference Centre has been appreciated for many
years as a centrally located meeting place for businesses,
organisations and, of course, for IVA’s own meetings.
Improvements in 2006 made the Conference Centre better
than ever. The Wenström Room has been expanded and
modernized to accommodate a full 70 guests and functions
as a complement to the large Wallenberg Auditorium with a
capacity of 175. Towards the end of the year, the large
reception area was completely remodelled. The reception
area is a focal point for the conference centre, as a place for
follow-up discussion.
More than 1,600 meetings were held at the Conference
Centre in 2006, 250 more than the year before, making it
one of the leading conference facilities in Stockholm. The
central location combined with modern technology and
professional staff makes this an excellent meeting place. The
Axel Johnson Room, which has been used by IVA for about
a decade, located in the adjacent building, is no longer at
IVA´s disposal.
Facts on IVA’s Conference Centre:
Ten conference rooms for 4 to175 people
Food and beverages provided by
Restaurant Grodan
Several attractive banquet halls,
the largest of which is 140 m2
