The Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences (IVA) is an independent academy with a mission to promote engineering, economic sciences and the advancement of business and industry for the benefit of society. This is done by being an open and transboundary forum, building bridges between the research, business and political spheres.
IVA invites the diplomatic community in Stockholm to learn more about its activities and engagements. Focus areas for the academy, as well as progress within the Swedish research and technology community will be presented and followed by a reception.
