Research programmes

• A research programme is focused on a defined subject area or set of problems, financed for a fixed period (4 years) and has a coordinated management

• A research programme generates added value, in comparison to project-based separate funding

• Strategic importance:• goal-oriented

• impact on society (social, cultural, economic, political)• exploitation of research results• national and international cooperation • multidisciplinarity,

- several research councils

• Challenges: coherent programme entity, resources and ambition in balance

• Current plan: to start 1-3 new research programmes/per year

A platform for national and international cooperation

National funding cooperation: • dialogue enhances the competitiveness of the Finnish research system• efficient exploitation of research results

International cooperation:The Academy shall take steps towards

• the wider international networking of national programmes• jointly funded international programmes• the opening up of programme elements or whole

programmes to the international research communityAims:• create opportunities for finnish researchers for high-quality international collaboration: e.g. researcher mobility and training, joint seminars, joint projects• increase the visibility and attractiveness of finnish research• promote participation of finnish researchers in activities of international programmes and networks
