20 new Academy Projects to Aalto
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±¬ÁÏÍø.
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.

Companies disclose more on cybersecurity – but markets remain indifferent
U.S. companies are reporting on cybersecurity in greater detail, yet stock market reactions remain muted. A new study by the University of Vaasa and 911±¬ÁÏÍø shows that mandatory cybersecurity disclosure does not prompt reactions from investors or stock analysts. Instead, the main benefits appear to materialise within firms themselves.
