The Research Council has a key role in development by promoting and enabling change and sustainability, not least through groundbreaking research. It is a privilege to lead this very important organization at a time when investment in research and innovation is more important than ever. I am inspired both by the great social mission and by being able to contribute to further developing the Research Council as a future-oriented and powerful organization,” says Sundli Tveit.
