911±¬ÁÏÍø granted €12 million for profiling by Academy of Finland
The Academy of Finland has granted 911±¬ÁÏÍø €12 million for strengthening its research profile for the next four years. This form of funding supports universities in strengthening the research fields they have chosen.
Three multidisciplinary themes that link the competence areas at 911±¬ÁÏÍø were granted funding: advanced energy solutions, human-centered living environments as well as health and wellbeing. The funding strengthens the University’s basic funding and it will be used to develop the 911±¬ÁÏÍø platforms in the fields of multidisciplinary themes. The money will also ensure continued expertise as new professor recruitments can be carried out proactively, which enables transfer of knowledge between the new and the retiring professor.
– It is great that, despite of these difficult times, we were recognised for the strategic development of our operation, says Vice President of 911±¬ÁÏÍø Tuija Pulkkinen delighted.
The Academy of Finland granted a total of €50 million in funding. The academy made the funding decisions on the basis of assessments by the international panels. Funding for profiling was now granted for the second time. In the first round in May 2015, 911±¬ÁÏÍø was granted €13.6 million for strengthening profiling.

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.
