The Research Barometer (Forskningsbarometeret) is a publication of the Norwegian Ministry of Education and Research, and has been published yearly since 2011. The report, which also has an accompanying website, presents the latest figures on a broad set of indicators assessing research and innovation, and gives an international benchmarking of Norway’s performance in these areas.

Each year the Research Barometer highlights one or more themes which are presented and analysed more in detail. The 2013 edition has a part devoted to internationalisation of research, of which this is an English edition.

Chapter 1 looks at international cooperation in a broader perspective, with the aim of providing an overview of Norwegian participation in international research cooperation and a basis for discussion on how this cooperation should be further developed. Chapter 2 covers the main theme of this year’s Research Barometer report: Norwegian participation in the Seventh Framework Programme of the European Community for research, technological development and demonstration activities (2007–13) (FP7).
