This document discusses examples of cooperation between the City of Stockholm and research institutions on issues like air quality, greenhouse gas reduction, and sustainable building. It provides pros and cons of this cooperation from both the city's perspective and the research institutions' perspective. Specifically, it notes that the city benefits from research helping to structure complex issues and evaluate alternatives, while research institutions benefit from conducting more relevant real-world research. However, both sides face challenges around expressing clear views, producing results versus academic papers, and balancing work with other responsibilities.

9. The city’s experience of research
institutions
+ Structure complex issues - Difficulties to express clear
+ Evaluate different alternatives views
+ Strengthen long term - Want to produce PHD:s rather
perspectives than results
+ Neutral partner - Difficulties to find willing
groups for certain research

10. The research institutions experience of
Stockholm
+ The institutions feel that they - Takes time from producing
make a difference research papers
+ The experiences make the - Problems with integrity
research more relevant
+ The cooperation strengthens
the research institutions
cooperation with the City in
other ways as well
