The funding granted to Aalto University by the Academy of Finland from the September 2022 call will strengthen the university's research by a total of approximately EUR 20 million.
Next autumn, 15 new Academy Research Fellows will start at Aalto. The funding granted to Aalto University for these tasks totals over eight million euros. This was the first application round where funding was allocated based on the Academy’s reform of the funding schemes available to early-career researchers. The new Academy Research Fellow funding was now allocated for the first time since the reform of the funding forms.
Aalto University received Academy Project funding from all Academy councils. Funding totalling approximately EUR 12 million was granted to 30 subprojects.
Congratulations to all!
