KI:s duties include research, education and providing information about its activities and how scientific knowledge can be applied. In addition to its interest in openness and freedom in the research, the public also has a highly legitimate interest in the research that is conducted being able to be translated into different kinds of benefit. To be able to accomplish this, KI needs to interact with both trade and industry and society at large.
