The FIRI Committee decides funding for the Finnish research infrastructure roadmap – JYU participates in five infrastructures

The Finnish Research Infrastructure Committee (FIRI Committee) has taken the funding decisions concerning the research infrastructures selected to Finland’s national roadmap for research infrastructures 2025–2028. In December 2024, the FIRI Committee selected 21 research infrastructures to be included in the roadmap.The amount of granted funding is in total 50 million euros, of which the share of the Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥ is about 1.2 million euros.

From among the roadmap research infrastructures, the FIRI Committee also selected six research infrastructures as ‘lighthouse’ infrastructures. From JYU, the Department of Biological and Environmental Science participates in the Integrated Atmospheric and Earth System Science Research Infrastructure (INAR RI) and the Department of Music, Art and Culture Studies in the Common Language Resources and Technology Infrastructure (FIN-CLARIAH). The lighthouse status is granted to research infrastructures that have been the most successful infrastructures in the roadmap call, meet the lighthouse criteria and lead the way in all key infrastructure areas, such as service provision, impact, functionality and shared use. 

In addition, the Accelerator Laboratory of the Department of Physics is one of the roadmap research infrastuctures. In addition to aforementioned, JYU also participates in two other research consortiums selected for the roadmap: the National infrastructure for human in digital world (MAGICS) and the Finnish Infrastructure for Register-Based Research (FIRE).

The roadmap for Finnish research infrastructures is a tool for the research community, policymakers and funders to guide investment and support research, development and innovation.
