What is strategic competency?
Strategic competence is about
- understand "how to get things done" in different parts of society
- be able to develop and implement innovations and measures that promote sustainability in interaction with stakeholders and decision-makers
Strategic competency in a MN-context
Often the role of natural scientists and realists in decision-making processes is to investigate, make quantitative analyzes and develop technical solutions. In order for decision-makers from other disciplines to be able to use this in a good way, they must receive information that is appropriate and understandable. This requires that the person preparing the information must be familiar with who will use the information, and how the information should be presented in order to be understandable. It is therefore important that our candidates gain knowledge of decision-making processes in society and training in scientific communication to various target groups.
Examples of teaching activities
