Swedish Higher Education System University of Gothenburg Higher Education Institutions RED19 PROJECT GROUP [email protected] SWEDISH HIGHER EDUCATION SYSTEM UNIVERSITY OF GOTHENBURG HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS The University of Gothenburg is one of around 40 higher education institutions in Sweden. These HEIs can be divided into the following four categories: BROAD RESEARCH UNIVERSITIES University of Gothenburg Linköping University LULEÅ TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY Lund University Stockholm University Umeå University Uppsala University SPECIALISED RESEARCH UNIVERSITIES Chalmers University of Technology Karolinska Institute UMEÅ UNIVERSITY Luleå Technical University Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) Stockholm Buisness School (SBS) MID SWEDEN UNIVERSITY* Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) NEW UNIVERSITIES MID SWEDEN UNIVERSITY* Karlstad University *Mid Sweden University Linnæus University has campuses in Östersund Malmö University and Sundsvall Mid Sweden University Örebro University SMALLER REGIONAL UNIVERSITY COLLEGES Blekinge Institute of Technology Dalarna University College Ersta Sköndal Bräcke University College UPPSALA UNIVERSITY Gävle University College SLU Halmstad University KARLSTAD UNIVERSITY ÖREBRO UNIVERSITY KAROLINSKA INSTITUTE, KTH, SBS Jönköping University STOCKHOLM UNIVERSITY Kristianstad University College Mälardalen University College Red Cross University College of Nursing LINKÖPING UNIVERSITY Royal College of Music, Stockholm Royal Institute of Art Sophiahemmet University College UNIVERSITY OF GOTHENBURG Stockholm School of Theology CHALMERS Stockholm University of the Arts Swedish Defence University LINNÆUS UNIVERSITY Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences Södertörn University University College of Arts, Crafts and Design University College West University of Borås LUND UNIVERSITY University of Skövde MALMÖ UNIVERSITY 2 Almost all HEIs in Sweden are part of the state-governed higher education system and regulated as public authorities (myndigheter). The boards and Vice-Chancellors are appointed by the government. Decision-making within universities is seen as an exercise of public authority and must follow the principle of public access. Each year, the Minister or State Secretary of Higher Education and Research meets with University Management, and each year the University receives directives from the government in terms of student production and special assignments. Direct government funding to universities is divided into separate strands – education, research & doctoral education, and special assignments. Universities may not redirect money between the different strands. Aside from government fund- ing, external funding also contributes to research and doctoral education. Each year, the Swedish Government allocates funds for research in the national budget. Approximately half of those funds go directly to HEIs. The rest is allocated to researchers via government research funding bodies and other public authorities. A few Swedish HEIs are foundations, for example Chalmers University of Technology. Unlike state-governed HEIs, Chalmers can own its own buildings, student homes and companies. The procedures for employment are also different, and in some cases simpler, compared to those for state-governed HEIs.

The broad research universities, including the University of Gothenburg, are ranked among the top by many ranking institutes, as are many of the specialised research universities (Karolinska Institute, Chalmers and KTH). A more detailed description of the standing of Swed- ish research can be found in the ‘Swedish Research Barometer’, published by the Swedish Research Council every other year. The most recent report is from 2017. Click the image to the right to visit the website and download the PDF. Read the report 3 RESEARCH FUNDING SYSTEM In Sweden, 3.3% of BNP is spent on research and development, which is quite high by international standards. Research conducted at HEIs accounts for approximately 25% of national R&D. RESOURCES FOR R&D IN SWEDEN The figure above shows the financial volume and cash flows, in billion SEK, of the Swedish R&D system in 2015. Financing of R&D can be viewed from two perspectives: allocation by funding body (upper section of the figure), andwhere/by whom the research is conducted (low- er section). As shown, most research funding for HEIs comes from the government, either directly as block grants, or via funding agencies. Discrepencies in total amounts are due to various factors, such as funds being paid to a researcher in a certain year, while only a portion of those funds be- ing used in that same year. Source: Swedish Research Barometer 2017. During the period 2005–2017, government funding for research increased from approximately SEK 24 billion per year to approximately SEK 37 billion per year. About half of government funding is allocated to researchers via state funding bodies, or to public agencies that either distribute research funding or use the funds to conduct their own re- search (e.g. the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency and the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute). The proportion of funds that are allocated to funding bodies compared to block funding directly to universities has increased over the years. 4 EXTERNAL RESEARCH FUNDING The figures below illustrate the research in- comes obtained by Swedish HEIs from public and other external sources in 2017. Many Swedish ministries have their own fund- ing body, as described below.

Depart- ment of Transport and Economics, KTH, Stockholm. ISBN 10: 91-85539-24-4. Abstract Incidents in the road transport system can have large negative consequences for the society and the business community. The basic aim of vulnerability analysis is to identify scenarios that i) would lead to severe consequences, and ii) have some likelihood of being realized in the future. The Thesis proposes two main approaches to vulnerability analysis. The first significant component of the analysis is to identify important links in the road net- work, i.e., links where a disruption would lead to severe consequences. The second component is to identify exposed users, i.e., users for which the consequences of a disruption would be particularly severe. Paper I introduces the concepts of importance and exposure and how they can be operationalized in terms of increased travel time when road links are closed.

It is a forum in which Ministers responsible for transport, and more speci®cally the inland transport sector, can co-operate on policy. Within this forum, Ministers can openly discuss current problems and agree upon joint approaches aimed at improving the utilisation and at ensuring the rational development of European transport systems of international importance. At present, the ECMT's role primarily consists of: ± helping to create an integrated transport system throughout the enlarged Europe that is economically and technically ef®cient, meets the highest possible safety and environmental standards and takes full account of the social dimension; ± helping also to build a bridge between the European Union and the rest of the continent at a political level. The Council of the Conference comprises the Ministers of Transport of 39 full Member countries: Albania, Austria, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Belgium, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (F.Y.R.O.M.), Georgia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Moldova, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, the Russian Federation, the Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, Ukraine and the United Kingdom.

För att åstadkomma det behöver flera åtgärder genomföras, tex investeringar i infra- strukturen eller att stimulera och underlätta för ett ökat antal hållbara resor längs Mittstråket. Projekt Mittstråket gav hösten 2018 Trivector i uppdrag att ta fram ett kunskapsunderlag som kan användas av ansvariga aktörer för såväl kortsiktig som långsiktig planering av kollektivtrafik och andra åtgärder som bidrar till överflyttning av resande med bil till kollektivtrafik utmed Mittstråket.
