About SustainGov
Together with 15 other authorities and organizations, Mid Sweden University has been entrusted with leading SustainGov, one of five decided strategic innovation programs for the 2030s.
Five strategic innovation programs will be launched in the first quarter of 2024. The innovation programs must be aimed at one or more overall societal challenges and require collaboration between a broad constellation of actors. Behind Impact innovation are Vinnova, Formas and the Energy Agency.
- We create the platform, contexts, tools and insights that will enable real transformation, innovation and societal impact at the system level. The program includes enabling the public sector to move from doing things right to doing the right things through a broad input portfolio that includes, among other things, exchange of experience, skills development, policy labs, new research, new methods, experiments and scale-up. That the public sector itself is involved in the implementation creates ownership of the change that needs to happen and ensures that it happens in a democratic, legally secure and effective way, says Mariell Juhlin, program manager SustainGov.
