In 2003, Vinnova (the Swedish Governmental Agency for Innovation Systems,www.vinnova.se) began the financing of a project with the purpose of developing the biotech cluster in the Uppsala region. The project is to last 10 years and is run by Uppsala BIO – the Life Science Initiative (www.uppsalabio.com). In 2003 Uppsala BIO appointed CIND to follow the project’s development over time (följeforskning).
CIND’s activities in this project include the following:
1. To systematically evaluate and document Uppsala BIO’s activities and process in order to facilitate improvements in Uppsala BIO and other similar projects.
2. To establish a close connection with Uppsala BIO’s steering committee, project management, and other Uppsala BIO stakeholders through periodic communications in order to ensure that CIND’s role provides value to Uppsala BIO.
3. To provide opinions and suggestions for improvements based upon CIND’s participation in the project.
The following reports and publications are examples of research generated in connection to this project:
