into the Programme as well as to decide on incorporation of a project or aproject entity as part of the Programme, provided that these already havefunding for it
• to draw up a plan for the follow-up and evaluation of the Programme• to promote the use of research results

• A key role in forming the Programme’s added value and inachieving the objectives of the programme
• Both scientific and administrative tasks• 1-2 Programme Manager(s) and a Project Officer• The Programme Manager reports to the Steering

• Following ongoing and forthcoming internationalresearch programmes when planning the Academyprogramme
• Collecting data for reporting, maintenance theinformation on projects, forwarding information tothe Academy of Finland and other fundingagencies

• Communication with the Steering Committee, Finnish andforeign funding agencies, and collaborators
• Organising the meetings of the Committee and thesubcommittee for the Academy programme
• Organising the evaluation process
• Submitting the research results gained within the Academyprogramme (publications, patents, examinations etc.)
• Foresight of the research in the field of the Academyprogramme

Communication during the Academy Programme
• Joint seminars promote collaboration between the research projects• Collaboration with essential Finnish as well as foreign research
programmes• Visits, visiting scholars• Disseminating the Finnish expertise to international research
programmes and research projects• Informing of the Academy programme and its results on the website
of the programme• Promoting the dialogue between researchers and end-users of
research results (knowledge broker)• Producing multi-disciplinary joint publications and popularized
information to end-users of knowledge and other target groups• e.g. reports, exhibitions, TV-programmes, social media

What is knowledge brokering?
Creating links and networks between producers and end-users of knowledge
- Bringing operators together or serving as an active link in between (researchers,politicians, businesses, organizations, other shareholders)
Active search and dialog between producers and end-users of knowledge
- Creates a possibility for new paths, since we do not live in a world of perfectdiffusion of information and understanding
Modifying knowledge to an end-user-friendly form
- Is it ideal to spread knowledge as it is or to add interpretations?
- Selectiveness/objectiveness?
- How much is it possible to modify knowledge?
Broker organization
Researchers End-users ofknowledge

Knowledge brokering at the Academy Programme
• visits, dialogs, annual seminars• identifying key projects and researchers• annual/mid reports
Acquiring information onresearch and researchers’’Know your programmes and
projects’’
• identifying target groups, persons and networks• working at the Steering Committee
Acquiring information onend-users of knowledge’’Who needs information?’’
• what kind of, in what form and when is knowledgeneeded?
• identifying and creating new tools, mechanisms,forums ja methods
• roles of the researcher, the university and theAcademy
Creating dialog andbrokering knowledge
’’Be visible, communicate andimpact: tell a story, draw a
picture’’
