Ingeborg Meijer, PhD

Dr. Ingeborg Meijer is a senior researcher in research policy and evaluation with a focus on biomedicine and healthcare R&I. Her main goal is to make sure that society is able to use research. Working in industry, health research policy, consultancy of European policies, she realized that in academia there is still a lot to gain at the science/society interface. Through crossing disciplinary boundaries and collaboration with policy, funders, charities, patient organizations and European R&I partners, she aims to improve mutual understanding and sharing of responsibility. Her latest contributions are in European projects on Responsible Research and Innovation (MoRRI, NewHoRRIzon, SUPER_MoRRI) and Open Science (Open Science Monitor). Furthermore, in the R-Quest project (funded by the Norwegian Research Council), she pursues reconciliation between notions of research quality and impact to society.
