Nearly 9 million euros for research in the sciences from the Research Council of Finland
The Research Council of Finland’s Scientific Council for Natural Sciences and Engineering has selected 53 researchers to receive Academy Research Fellowship funding and 74 projects to receive Academy Project Funding. The new Academy Projects are composed of a total of 104 subprojects. The total funding comes to around 35 million euros for Academy Research Fellowships and around 50 million euros for Academy Projects.
New Academy Research Fellowships
Academy Research Fellowship funding is intended for early-career researchers on a fast career track who have formed international networks and who are conducting scientifically high-quality and high-impact research that contributes to scientific renewal.
