Academy of Finland’s research councils invested more than €14m in international research funding cooperation in 2022
Figures for 2022 show that the Academy of Finland’s three research councils invested a total of 14 million euros in cooperation with international research funding organisations.
The single largest sum (approx. 2 million euros) jointly granted by the research councils was awarded through a call with the National Science Foundation (NSF) for projects researching artificial intelligence and wireless communication technologies.
The Academy also engaged in funding cooperation with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and NordForsk for a total sum of 4 million euros.
The Academy’s research councils co-fund international research projects with other national funding organisations, the European Union and NordForsk. The cooperation involves thematic research programmes, where projects are required to include cooperation between researchers from two or three other participating countries.
This international funding by the Academy is primarily intended for European and Nordic joint projects and, in the case of the United States, for NSF joint projects. However, EU-level networks often include countries outside the EU, which effectively expands the opportunities for researchers to cooperate.
The research councils’ total contribution to international funding cooperation also includes funding for researcher mobility based on bilateral agreements with countries and territories outside Europe, namely India, Taiwan, China and Japan.
