Science - Education / Pedagogy / Funding program description for a foundation
Swedish term or phrase: forskningsnära
From the introductory description of the program as a whole:

"[Programmet] möjliggör utveckling av forskningsnära kurser och utbildningar för yrkesverksamma på avancerad nivå."

The document is directed at potential applicants for funds through the program, primarily at Swedish HEIs or employed in Swedish businesses. I'm considering "research-related", but not based on any documentation found, more a stab in the dark.

Explanation:
This is my first instinct whenever I see this (or words ending in "-nära").
It's similar in a way to words ending in "-teknisk" where the "technical" bit is added on (so I was told by Swedes) to show equal respect to all sorts of jobs and subjects rather than making it sound as though (e.g.) a refuse collector's job meant less than that of a lab technician, i.e. it's covering various possibilities.
Wonder what sorts of comment I'll get on this!
