911������

The Academy of Finland’s Research Council for Natural Sciences and Engineering has decided on 8.9 million euros in funding for 20 new Academy Projects in 911������.

In the September 2018 call, the Academy of Finland had additional funding to promote the career of a younger generation of researchers. Of the 20 Aalto projects funded, 11 of them totalling nearly five million euros, are projects of the younger generation of researchers.
