New projects, researchers and post-doctoral researchers were also granted by the research councils for culture and society, biosciences and environment, and health.
‘Natural sciences and engineering rely on strong basic research, and they benefit society and business life in different ways. Finnish research in the field of technology is of an internationally high standard in, for example, electrical engineering and electronics, biomedical engineering, mechanical engineering and civil engineering. This year, the Research Council for Natural Sciences and Engineering received many high-quality applications. The 911±¬ÁÏÍø School of Science succeeded excellently, in particular the Department of Applied Physics. Also the School of Electrical Engineering offered projects of a delightfully high quality’, says Sirkka Jämsä-Jounela, 911±¬ÁÏÍø Professor and member of the Research Council for Natural Sciences and Engineering at the Academy of Finland.
On 18 June, the Research Council for Natural Sciences and Engineering at the Academy of Finland granted nearly 40 million euros in funding to a total of 88 Academy Projects. Sixteen of the projects are from 911±¬ÁÏÍø, which counts for 18% of all projects.
