Equality, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) are built into our values, and they promote well-being, creativity, and innovation. All of this leads to more impactful research and teaching.

‘Now again, I want to invite all the members of our community to join in our development work. With this funding we support projects that promote equality, diversity, and inclusion, such as networks, seminar series, creative projects, events, and collaboration with other schools and organisations. We provide grants for innovative projects that support the goals of the funding,’ says Virpi Tuunainen, Associate Dean of Research and International cooperation. 

Do not hesitate to seek out funding for your ideas – even small projects can be of great importance. The call for funding applications is ongoing starting in the autumn of 2026.
