The Danish Centre for Studies in Research and Research Policy (dt.: Dänisches Zentrum für Studien zu Forschung und Forschungspolitik; dänisch: Dansk Center for Forskningsanalyse CFA) is an interdisciplinary centre at the Department of Political Science, Aarhus BSS, Aarhus University.
The Centre’s research focuses on research policy, innovation policy and university policy, and contributes to both the theoretical and empirical developments within the field. The Centre is characterized by its interdisciplinary profile, which combines both various research disciplines in the social sciences and humanities and a wide variety of research methods.
The Danish Centre for Studies in Research and Research Policy also aims to contribute to broader knowledge sharing and competence building related to research policy, innovation policy and university policy. In relation to this the Centre provides research based advice to public authorities and performs assessments, analyses and impact studies. The Centre's work thus aims to strengthen the basis for qualified decision-making in research policy, innovation policy and university policy.
