Call for proposals for IVA's 100 list 2024
Research should benefit business and society. This is the background to IVA's 100 list, which highlights current and promising research projects. We are now looking for candidates for the 2024 100 list, the sixth in a row. The theme is innovation through interdisciplinarity.
Technology in the service of humanity - innovation through interdisciplinarity
The researchers and research teams we are looking for must be based in the disciplinary domain of technology or economics at a Swedish higher education institution or research institute and work interdisciplinary to solve burning societal problems and strengthen the competitiveness of the business community.
The research projects will make use of knowledge, perspectives and methods from several different scientific disciplines to find innovative solutions to complex problems. Examples of some areas where research can address challenges and needs are:
- The transition to a fossil-free and circular business and society.
- Smart, sustainable, efficient and circular extraction/recycling of raw materials and energy efficiency.
- New production processes and the development of new regulations.
- Development of green and blue* industries towards a resource-efficient bioeconomy.
"Being on IVA's 100 list has helped the research and the company with capital raising and recognition on an international market."
