Jag har i dag publicerat en debattartikel i Vetenskapsr\u00e5dets tidning Curie<\/a> om att det europeiska forskningsr\u00e5det ERC \u00e4r under press och vikten av att vi tillsammans s\u00e4kerst\u00e4ller s\u00e5 att r\u00e5dets hittills s\u00e5 framg\u00e5ngsrika inriktning inte \u00e4ventyras av \u00f6kad extern styrning eller genom f\u00f6r\u00e4ndringar p\u00e5 grund av den p\u00e5g\u00e5ende pandemin.

Vi m\u00e5ste sl\u00e5 tillbaka alla f\u00f6rs\u00f6k till f\u00f6r\u00f6dande styrning, omprioritering och f\u00f6r\u00e4ndring av det europeiska forskningsr\u00e5det, ERC. I dessa tider \u00e4r ERC:s uppdrag och sj\u00e4lvst\u00e4ndiga roll viktigare \u00e4n n\u00e5gonsin, skriver Karolinska institutets rektor Ole Petter Ottersen.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

I tider av os\u00e4kerhet och f\u00f6r\u00e4ndrade f\u00f6ruts\u00e4ttningar kan det vara lockande att lyfta fram v\u00e4l fungerande verksamheter och f\u00f6rs\u00f6ka anpassa dem efter nya krav och behov. De fungerar ju s\u00e5 bra och \u00e4r f\u00f6red\u00f6mliga p\u00e5 s\u00e5 m\u00e5nga s\u00e4tt. Kanske kan de, just p\u00e5 grund av sin excellens, vara r\u00e4ddningen n\u00e4r det krisar?<\/p>\n

Detta \u00e4r p\u00e5fallande ofta en d\u00e5lig id\u00e9. Bara f\u00f6r att de h\u00e4r verksamheterna fungerar utm\u00e4rkt i en kontext, beh\u00f6ver det ingalunda betyda att de kommer att fungera lika bra i en annan. Risken \u00e4r uppenbar att man ist\u00e4llet f\u00f6r att komma n\u00e4rmare en b\u00e4ttre hantering av en kris, stj\u00e4lper n\u00e5got som hade m\u00e5tt betydligt b\u00e4ttre av att f\u00e5 forts\u00e4tta som f\u00f6rut. Effekten kan allts\u00e5 bli tv\u00e5faldigt negativ. Krisen f\u00f6rblir en kris samtidigt som en fungerande struktur monteras ner och upph\u00f6r att vara fungerande.<\/p>\n

Detta \u00e4r n\u00e5got som vi b\u00f6r vara s\u00e4rskilt observanta p\u00e5 i dessa tider, n\u00e4r det mesta st\u00e4lls p\u00e5 \u00e4nda och vi upplever hur omprioriteringar, f\u00f6r\u00e4ndrade f\u00f6ruts\u00e4ttningar och anpassningar av rutiner och lagar snarare \u00e4r regel \u00e4n undantag.<\/p>\n

ERC, European Research Council, har under sina 13 \u00e5r varit n\u00e5got av en europeisk framg\u00e5ngssaga. Svenska forskare var instrumentella i etableringen av ERC och jag har sj\u00e4lv varit med fr\u00e5n b\u00f6rjan som panelledare, f\u00f6rst i panelen Advanced grants<\/em> och d\u00e4refter i Synergi grants<\/em>. Med ett uttalat m\u00e5l att vara en sj\u00e4lvst\u00e4ndig akt\u00f6r, uppbyggd av forskare, f\u00f6r forskare och med tydligt syfte att st\u00f6dja spetsforskning, har ERC avsev\u00e4rt st\u00e4rkt EU:s position p\u00e5 den globala forskningsarenan. Man talar i dag med stor respekt v\u00e4rlden \u00f6ver om ERC:s st\u00e4llning som garant f\u00f6r kvalitetsforskning av yttersta klass \u2013 p\u00e5 forskarnas egna villkor. R\u00e5det och dess stringenta och tydliga inriktning n\u00e4r det g\u00e4ller forskningsst\u00f6d har ocks\u00e5 bidragit till att attrahera talangfulla och kompetenta forskare b\u00e5de inom och utom EU.<\/p>\n

Som den framg\u00e5ngsfaktor ERC utvecklats till, \u00e4r det m\u00e5nga som kastar sina lystna blickar mot r\u00e5det och dess position. Det \u00e4r krafter ig\u00e5ng som vill omvandla r\u00e5dets hittills mycket sj\u00e4lvst\u00e4ndiga st\u00e4llning till ett mer f\u00f6ljsamt organ f\u00f6r mer strategiska och kortsiktiga satsningar. Det h\u00e4r har visat sig p\u00e5 flera s\u00e4tt under den senaste tiden.<\/p>\n

Det har bland annat framf\u00f6rts att r\u00e5dets verksamhet ska vara mer styrd uppifr\u00e5n. Tydligast blev detta n\u00e4r ERC:s f\u00f6rra president Mauro Ferrari la fram ett f\u00f6rslag om att ERC:s medel och st\u00f6dstruktur skulle anv\u00e4ndas f\u00f6r ett s\u00e4rskilt forskningsprogram f\u00f6r att \u00f6ka satsningen p\u00e5 forskning mot coronaviruset.<\/p>\n

En s\u00e5dan top-down-strategi g\u00e5r emot sj\u00e4lva k\u00e4rnan i det som ERC b\u00f6r st\u00e5 f\u00f6r och som utg\u00f6r den viktigaste faktorn f\u00f6r r\u00e5dets starka st\u00e4llning. Det \u00e4r uppenbart att det finns m\u00e4ngder med andra strukturer som kan s\u00e4kerst\u00e4lla att tillr\u00e4ckliga medel och anslag tillf\u00f6rs forskningen om SARS-CoV-2-viruset, s\u00e5v\u00e4l inom EU:s forskningsramar som i de enskilda medlemsl\u00e4nderna.<\/p>\n

Det \u00e4r ett sundhetstecken att hela r\u00e5dets styrelse gick emot Ferraris f\u00f6rslag, Hans st\u00e4llning blev d\u00e4rmed oh\u00e5llbar och han avgick i april, efter bara tre m\u00e5nader som president.<\/p>\n

Det \u00e4r dock inte bara detta f\u00f6rslag som \u00e4r bekymmersamt. Sedan i h\u00f6stas har EU:s budget diskuterats alltmer intensivt. \u00c4ven innan pandemin var ett faktum stod EU under stor press bland annat p\u00e5 grund av Brexit. Parallellt med budgetprocessen p\u00e5g\u00e5r f\u00f6rhandlingar om ett nytt fler\u00e5rigt ramprogram f\u00f6r EU:s \u00f6vergripande forskningsanslag, Horizon Europe. Som det ser ut s\u00e5 kommer anlagen till ramprogrammet att minska b\u00e5de procentuellt och i absoluta tal. Detta kommer att drabba forskning inom EU p\u00e5 olika s\u00e4tt \u2013 och det kommer ocks\u00e5 sannolikt att p\u00e5verka ERC:s st\u00e4llning och position negativt.<\/p>\n

Det sj\u00e4lvst\u00e4ndiga forskningsperspektivet riskerar att f\u00f6rsvagas och urholkas, vilket i sin tur inneb\u00e4r att EU:s och ERC:s status som ett starkt innovationscenter f\u00f6r excellent och innovativ spetsforskning och som magnet f\u00f6r synnerligen kompetenta forskare fr\u00e5n hela v\u00e4rlden, tynar bort.<\/p>\n

Det skulle vara f\u00f6r\u00f6dande.<\/p>\n

En annan risk n\u00e4r det g\u00e4ller ERC:s st\u00e4llning handlar om undantr\u00e4ngningseffekter p\u00e5 grund av pandemin. S\u00e5 mycket av forskning, s\u00e4rskilt s\u00e5dan med medicinsk inriktning men \u00e4ven annan, har nu p\u00e5 kort tid lagts om och mer eller mindre helt fokuserat p\u00e5 \u00f6kad kunskap om viruset, sjukdomen och behandlingsformer. P\u00e5 ett s\u00e4tt \u00e4r detta utm\u00e4rkt. Men vad det h\u00e4r inneb\u00e4r i tappad fart och minskade satsningar p\u00e5 annan forskning vet vi \u00e4nnu inte s\u00e5 mycket om. Det \u00e4r nu oerh\u00f6rt viktigt att det finns en medvetenhet om att behoven av annan forskning inte minskar f\u00f6r att vi har en p\u00e5g\u00e5ende coronakris. P\u00e5 det s\u00e4ttet kan man s\u00e4ga att ERC:s uppdrag och sj\u00e4lvst\u00e4ndiga roll \u00e4r \u00e4nnu viktigare \u00e4n normalt.<\/p>\n

F\u00f6retr\u00e4dare f\u00f6r forskningspolitik och f\u00f6r forskningsfinansiering, universitet och h\u00f6gskolor och inte minst forskarna sj\u00e4lva st\u00e5r tvekl\u00f6st inf\u00f6r en av de absolut st\u00f6rsta utmaningarna n\u00e5gonsin i modern tid. ERC \u00e4r en oerh\u00f6rt viktig akt\u00f6r som beh\u00f6vs mer \u00e4n n\u00e5gonsin just nu.<\/p>\n

F\u00f6r en tid sedan skrev jag, tillsammans med ytterligare 18 rektorer och forskare, ett \u00f6ppet brev till EU:s ledare d\u00e4r vi tog upp v\u00e5ra farh\u00e5gor. Vi har \u00e4ven lanserat en kampanj f\u00f6r detta, l\u00e4s mer och visa g\u00e4rna ditt st\u00f6d genom att skriva under via denna l\u00e4nk<\/a>. I skrivande stund har fler \u00e4n 6\u00a0500 personer skrivit p\u00e5!<\/p>\n

L\u00e5t oss gemensamt s\u00e4kerst\u00e4lla en fortsatt sj\u00e4lvst\u00e4ndig st\u00e4llning f\u00f6r ERC, se till att de ekonomiska anslagen garanteras ocks\u00e5 forts\u00e4ttningsvis och att vi tillsammans sl\u00e5r tillbaka alla f\u00f6rs\u00f6k till f\u00f6r\u00f6dande styrning, omprioritering eller f\u00f6r\u00e4ndring av ERC och dess nuvarande inriktning. Sj\u00e4lvklart \u00e4r det viktigt med forskning om coronaviruset. Men denna forskning m\u00e5ste prim\u00e4rt st\u00f6djas med medel fr\u00e5n andra forskningsfinansi\u00e4rer.<\/p>\n

Det nya coronaviruset f\u00f6rst\u00f6r s\u00e5 mycket i dagens samh\u00e4lle. L\u00e5t oss se till att det inte underminerar ERC.<\/p>\n

New debate article: ERC must not become a victim of the corona virus<\/strong><\/h2>\n

I recently published an article in the Swedish journal Curie<\/em><\/a> discussing the great pressure the European Research Council (ERC) is under and how important it is that we ensure that the Council’s successful strategy is not jeopardized by increased external control or by changes caused by the ongoing pandemic. The text below is an extract from Curie<\/em> and translated from Swedish.<\/p>\n

————-<\/p>\n

We must drive back all attempts at ruinous governance, reprioritization and change at the European Research Council (ERC). In these times, the ERC’s mission and independence are more important than ever, writes Karolinska Institutet’s President Ole Petter Ottersen.<\/p>\n

In times of uncertainty and change, it can be tempting to point out well-functioning organizations and try to adapt them to new requirements and needs. They work so well and are exemplary in so many ways. Perhaps, due to their excellence, they can also be our saviors in times of crisis?<\/p>\n

This is strikingly often a bad idea. Just because these organizations work extremely well in one context does not necessarily mean that they will work equally well in another. The obvious risk is that instead of improving the management of a crisis, you cripple something that would have functioned much better had it been left unchanged. The effect can therefore be doubly negative \u2013 the crisis remains while, at the same time, an effective structure is dismantled and ceases to serve its purpose.<\/p>\n

This is something we should be particularly vigilant about during these challenging times, when life is upended and we see how reprioritization, changed circumstances and the adaptation of routines and laws has become the rule rather than the exception.<\/p>\n

Over the past 13 years, the European Research Council has been something of a European success story. Swedish researchers were instrumental in establishing the ERC, and I myself have been involved from the very beginning as a panel chair, first for the Advanced Grants panel and then for the Synergy grants. With the stated goal of being an independent actor created by researchers for researchers, and with the clear purpose of supporting excellent research, the ERC has significantly strengthened the EU’s position in the global research arena. Today, the ERC is described with great respect around the world as a guarantor of the highest quality research, on researchers’ own terms. The Council, with its rigorous and clear focus on research support, has also contributed to attracting talented and competent researchers both within and outside the EU.<\/p>\n

Due to this success, many are now eagerly reexamining the Council and its unique position. There are forces underway that want to transform the Council’s historically independent position into a more compliant body aimed at strategic short-term initiatives. This has recently become increasingly apparent in numerous contexts.<\/p>\n

Among other things, it has been argued that the Council’s activities should be controlled from above to a greater extent. This was most evident when the ERC\u2019s former President Mauro Ferrari presented a proposal that the ERC’s funding and support structure should be used for a specific research program to increase corona virus research.<\/p>\n

This type of top-down strategy goes against the very essence of what the ERC should stand for and undercuts the most important factor behind the Council’s strong position. There are certainly numerous other structures that can ensure sufficient funds and grants are provided for research on the SARS-CoV-2 virus, both within the EU\u2019s research framework and within individual member states.<\/p>\n

It is a sign of health that the entire Council board voiced its opposition to Ferrari’s proposal; his position therefore became untenable and he resigned in April after only three months as president.<\/p>\n

However, it is not only this proposal that is worrisome. Since last fall, the EU budget has been discussed with increasing intensity. Even before the pandemic began, the EU was under great pressure, due in part to Brexit. Parallel to the budget process, negotiations are underway for a new multi-year framework program for the EU’s overarching research grant, Horizon Europe. It currently appears that funding for the framework program will decrease both in terms of percentage and absolute numbers. This will affect research within the EU in different ways, and will also likely have a negative impact on the ERC’s position.<\/p>\n

Its independent research perspective is at risk of becoming weakened and eroded, which in turn means that the EU\u2019s and ERC’s status as a strong innovation center for excellent, innovative, cutting-edge research and as a magnet for exceptionally competent researchers from around the world will languish.<\/p>\n

That would be devastating.<\/p>\n

Another risk related to the ERC’s position concerns displacement effects caused by the pandemic. During a short period of time, an enormous amount of research, especially within medicine but also other areas, has now been restructured and more-or-less refocused on increasing our knowledge about the virus, the disease, treatments and a cure. In a way, this is excellent. But what this means in terms of lost momentum and reduced investments in other research areas is not yet known. It is extremely important that there is an awareness around the need to continue research in other areas even though we are dealing with an ongoing corona virus crisis. In this way, one can say that the ERC’s mission and independence are even more important than they were before.<\/p>\n

Representatives from research policy and funding, higher education institutions, and not least the researchers themselves, are undoubtedly facing one of the greatest challenges in modern history. The ERC is an extremely important player and is needed right now more than ever.<\/p>\n

Some time ago, together with 18 university presidents and researchers, I wrote an open letter to EU\u2019s leaders in which we raised our concerns. We have also launched a campaign; read more and show your support by signing the petition through this link<\/a>. As I write this, more than 6,500 people have already signed!<\/p>\n

Let us together ensure the continued independence of the ERC, the continued guarantee of financial allocations, and our joint resolve to fight back against any attempts at ruinous governance, reprioritization or change to the ERC and its current direction. Research on the corona virus is of course extremely important. However, this research must be supported primarily through funding from other sources.<\/p>\n

The new corona virus is destroying so much within today’s society. Let’s ensure that it does not also damage the ERC.<\/p>\n
