Background & Purpose

During the autumn of 2025, members of parliament submitted 77 proposals, known as motions, suggesting various changes and investments in the field of research. These proposals were reviewed to see if they should lead to new political actions.

The Decision

The parliament decided to say no to all 77 proposals, concluding that current rules and ongoing work are sufficient for the time being.

Does this affect you?

  • Researchers: They will continue to work under the existing research framework without the changes suggested in the rejected motions.
  • Universities: The conditions for research funding and academic work remain unchanged by this specific parliamentary decision.

In Practice

  • No new research laws or specific funding programs were created through these motions.
  • The government's existing research plans continue as they were before.
  • The parliament maintains its current focus on research without adding the new suggestions from the opposition.
