This Government strategy (2021) addresses policies for recruitment and careers, with emphasis on young researchers, and more generally the objectives of the Norwegian Long-term plan for research and higher education.
The strategy establishes national objectives for doctoral education that more clearly reflect that the education serves both recruitment to research and to other sectors. The strategy also aims to give postdocs a good framework for developing an independent profile as a researcher and gaining relevant competences for an academic career. Finally, the strategy aims to facilitate and enhance the interaction between the Ministry of Education and Research and the universities and university colleges by clarifying roles and responsibilities in recruitment and career policies.
