SUA participates in the public debate on research policy through, among other things, opinion pieces, seminars, and comments on public reports. We want Sweden to be an attractive country for research. As the voice for early or mid-career researchers, we contribute with the experiences and perspectives that are unique to a new generation of research leaders.

The Academy has a standing policy committee for research policy, where one or more members are appointed each year to serve as conveners. The conveners are also research policy spokespersons and lead much of the work on the Academy’s statements. The committee has a secretary from the Academy’s secretariat.
SUA engages in the research policy debate through, among other things, responses to consultations and contributions to propositions, inquiries, and memoranda. We also write opinion articles, organize various events, and conduct independent investigations.

The Young Academy of Sweden has a network program together with the Society of Members of Parliament and Researchers, Rifo. In the program, researchers gain insight into the conditions of politics and Members of Parliament have access to current research. One purpose is to create relationships that endure over time and thus open channels between research and politics.
