20 new Academy Projects to Aalto

The Academy of Finland’s Research Council for Natural Sciences and Engineering has decided on 8.9 million euros in funding for 20 new Academy Projects in Aalto University.

In the September 2018 call, the Academy of Finland had additional funding to promote the career of a younger generation of researchers. Of the 20 Aalto projects funded, 11 of them totalling nearly five million euros, are projects of the younger generation of researchers.
