Jonas Björk,
generaldirektör FORTE
Jag är GD för FORTE sedan april i år och kommer närmast från Utbildningsdepartementet där jag var departementsråd och chef för den forskningspolitiska enheten i drygt fyra år.
I mitt uppdrag som departementsråd ingick bl.a. att vara huvudman (ansvarig för myndighetsstyrningen) för ett antal myndigheter som Kungl. Biblioteket och Vetenskapsrådet. Jag har också jobbat med policyutvecklingen för öppen tillgång inom ramen för mitt uppdrag på departementet. Innan departementet jobbade jag under en lång period på Vetenskapsrådet bl.a. som chef för den forskningsfinansierande verksamheten men också som chef för avdelningen för forskningspolitik. Jag är disputerad kvartärgeolog från Stockholms universitet och har mina rötter i nordligaste Sverige.
