Forskning refers to the systematic process of gathering, analyzing, and interpreting information to increase knowledge or understanding of a specific subject. It is the Swedish equivalent of "research."

Grammar & Word origin
Forskning is a neuter noun (ett-word). It is uncountable in most contexts.
- En forskning is rarely used; instead, one refers to forskningen (the research).
The word is derived from the verb forska (to research/investigate). It is composed of the root forsk- and the suffix -ning, which is used to form nouns from verbs, indicating an activity or the result of an activity. The root traces back to the Old Norse forsk and is related to the idea of searching or exploring.
