Welcome to a lunch seminar where you, as a researcher, will have the opportunity to learn about Impact Innovation, Sweden's major innovation investment for the 2030s. Contribute your knowledge to the work of solving our most pressing societal challenges!
At this lunch seminar, you will get an introduction to Impact Innovation – an initiative from the Swedish Energy Agency, Formas, and Vinnova. Johanna Gardeström, project coordinator at the Research Support and Collaboration Office, will guide you through the programme's goals, working methods, and funding opportunities, share tips, and answer your questions
The seminar is aimed at researchers – regardless of career level – who want to understand how their knowledge can contribute to the societal change that Impact Innovation aims to achieve. We offer a light lunch available from 11:30, register here: Registration

The innovation programme means that as a researcher, you will encounter a new logic. Calls are not always aimed directly at researchers or universities, but often at need owners within the public sector, business, and civil society – with research expected to be part of the solution. There are also calls where research is the focus, but always in close collaboration with need owners and society at large. This opens up new opportunities for funding, collaboration, and addressing societal issues broadly
In the coming years, approximately 500 million SEK per year will be distributed within five strategic programmes. This is a powerful investment and a unique chance to engage in cross-sector collaborations, build networks, and shape projects where research drives societal change. Read more: Impact Innovation
