Forskningsrådet för arbetsliv och socialvetenskap FAS (Swedish Council for Working Life and Social Research)

Forskningsrådet för arbetsliv och socialvetenskap, FAS, lyder under Socialdepartementet men har även koppling till Utbildningsdepartementet, som har ansvaret för forskningsfrågor.

FAS initierar och finansierar grundläggande och behovsstyrd forskning för att främja människors arbetsliv, hälsa och välfärd.

FAS är en av fyra statliga forskningsfinansiärer och har som huvudsaklig uppgift att stödja forskning inom områdena arbetsliv, folkhälsa och socialvetenskap. På så vis tillförs dessa för välfärden centrala områden forskningsresurser.

Ibland sker riktade satsningar mot särskilt angelägna problemområden där kunskapsbristen bedöms vara stor. Även långsiktiga kompetensuppbyggande insatser kan förekomma.

Beslut om prioriteringar och fördelning av forskningsresurser görs av en styrelse sammansatt av forskare med varierande ämnesbakgrund, valda av forskarsamhället, och allmänrepresentanter utsedda av regeringen.

The Council was established in 2001 through a merger of the Swedish Council for Social Research and the Swedish Council for Work Life Research.

Mission and objectives of the council are to promote the accumulation of knowledge in matters relating to working life and the understanding of social conditions and processes through:

• Promotion and support of basic and applied research.
• Identification of important research needs.
• Dialogue, dissemination of information and transfer of knowledge.
