Diversity and identity: The merger of five research councils in Norway

Hans Skoie

Science and Public Policy, 2000, vol. 27, issue 2, 83-96

Abstract: The merger in 1993 of Norway's five research councils into a single organisation was a bold decision going against the normal funding arrangements in other OECD countries. There have been considerable teething problems and criticisms and complaints from many quarters. There is a lack of confidence in the new Council within the research community and among important users. Misgivings are today expressed by supporters of the merger, yet the very fact of the Council's survival as one body is remarkable, given the difficulties encountered. The merger in Norway has been followed closely from many quarters and an international evaluation has been announced. Copyright , Beech Tree Publishing.
