About the publication

The report deals with future conditions for Danish research and provides a number of recommendations for the improvement, strengthening and renewal of the Danish system of research.

To support this process, the Research Commission proposes an overall strategy for Danish research concentrating on a few interconnected principles:

• The ability of research institutions to take up new challenges must be strengthened within a framework of freedom and responsibility. 
• Research must be renewed through a targeted effort, increased recruitment and a more attractive labour market for researchers. 
• The quality control of research must be improved, cooperation among research institutions be developed and all research institutions must contribute actively to research-based education.
• The structure of the research advisory system must be simplified and the system of funding made more transparent. 
• This strengthened research effort presupposes increased investment.
