The Committee for Engineering Sciences at the Swedish Research Council is primarily responsible for initiatives in the field of engineering sciences that the government has assigned to the Council in the research policy bill. The committee consists of eleven members, two of whom represent within engineering sciences conducted outside academia.
The committee is responsible for the initiatives delegated by the board, primarily those related to technology in the research policy bill, such as the initiative for excellence clusters for groundbreaking technology. During the committee’s mandate period, the Scientific Council for Natural and Engineering Sciences will continue to hold parts of the responsibility for funding research in engineering sciences. The committee and the scientific council will collaborate closely on shared matters.
The committee will consist of eleven members. The nine members currently appointed by the board possess strong scientific expertise in engineering and natural sciences. Two members will represent engineering research conducted outside academia and will be appointed at a later stage.
