Mistra’s annual report 2007
Research results are the property of society, and must contribute to its development. Mistra therefore remains committed to investing in research programmes that will make a difference to society, Mistra's Executive Director Ola Engelmark points out in the report.
Mistra´s role, as set out in its Statutes, is to support research that will help to solve environmental problems and yield benefits for society. And those benefits are something the Foundation´s Executive Director Ola Engelmark is keen to underline in a chronicle in the annual report:‘The results of research are not the property of the researchers alone, but of the whole of society. Consequently, we remain committed to supporting innovative research capable of generating everything from ideas to commercial products, from new decision-support data to resource management models. In that sense I feel that research still has huge untapped potential. We also intend to work hard at improving our communication and collaboration — to make sure the results achieved really do make a positive difference.´Headlines from the report:
