Bolin Centre's Strategic Goals for 2023–2027

Bolin Centre seeks to expand its influence across climate-related research disciplines and within Earth System science via the following strategic goals:

Resources

To secure the necessary resources to reach the strategic goals below, includ-ing: (i) long-term base funding to sustain the breadth of our research fields and enhance integration across them, particularly in relation to the biosphere component of the Earth system and support infrastructures; (ii) new invest-ments into strategic partnerships; and (iii) external competitive grants raised by Bolin Centre PIs.

Local, regional and national partnerships

To be an integrated key part of the larger research environment for climate and sustainability in Sweden. Regionally, the research and outreach at the Bo-lin Centre will be aligned with the strategic goals of Stockholm University, the Royal Institute for Technology, the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute, and synergistic with other collaborating centres.

Integration

To further enhance internal communication and integration of the research within the Bolin Centre, providing an environment that promotes scientific inquiry and output of high-quality peer-reviewed publications, fostering col-laboration among Bolin Centre members and RTs.

Infrastructure

To further develop the national landscape for technical support of climate re-search, including science infrastructures for modelling, observation, and data science as well as the open, fair and transparent publication of scientific data and knowledge in collaboration with other relevant Swedish and internation-al research environments.

Career opportunities

To host a vibrant and diverse community of climate researchers and offer a research environment that sustains their further development. We build a foundation for future employment opportunities for early career researchers through networking and exposure to diverse career pathways. We support and strengthen the recruitment of staff to SU, KTH, and SMHI and offer at-tractive possibilities for international researchers to visit our research envi-ronment.

External communication

To have a strategic approach to external communication that optimally ad-dresses the growing demand for our expertise by various stakeholders, with a particular focus on future generations of experts, decision-makers, and so-ciety members.
