Summary

Every electoral period, the Government presents a research bill, setting the framework for central government-funded research for the coming four years. The sum allocated in this autumn's Research and Innovation Bill, covering the period 2009-2012, is by far the largest ever, in terms of additional resources. With its SEK 5 billion, it is more than double as large as any of its predecessors.
