Workshop: Impact communication science parks

Explaining the value a science park brings to society is not always easy. We know that Sweden’s science parks act as engines of innovation and growth in their respective regions by being dynamic environments where research, entrepreneurship and industry can meet and develop. They are important hubs and catalysts for connecting different stakeholders to transform society into a more sustainable one.

How can we together explain this to national decision-makers? Those who really need to understand that Sweden’s science parks provide an invaluable function in regions across the country.

Welcome to a day at Science Park Skövde on 9 December. The meeting is for you who are the manager of a science park. During the day, we work together to develop a generic material, with both arguments and examples of numerical models.

On the agenda

• Science Park Skövde explains its calculation model for ROI on investment in a science park
• How are science parks communicated in other countries?
• What national materials are already available?
• What should a common, regional and national material look like?
• What materials are needed to communicate the value of a science park generically
