The number of speakers at the Impact of Science 2017 conference is continuously growing. With the new addition of Helene Hellmark Knutsson, the Swedish minister for higher education and research, joining the other experts and stakeholders such as: Alan I. Leshner (former CEO - AAAS) Koenraad Debackere (General Manager - Leuven University) and Dame Anne Glover (first chief scientific advisor - European Commission). With such a solid foundation with scientific viewpoints as well as insights from policy and industry we are sure the conference will bring new interesting perspectives.

During the conference methods for demonstrating impact, the relevance of strategic alliances and (policy) instruments for achieving impact will be evaluated. You will also get the chance to have a first hand look at the soon to be presented LERU report, on how to combine top science with societal impact. The goal of this conference is to stimulate the quality as well as the societal impact of science. To achieve this, all aspects of this issue will be discussed in order to find mutual grounds.
We look forward to meeting you in Stockholm!
