The Finnish Research Infrastructure Committee at the Research Council of Finland has decided on more than 29 million euros in funding for the building and upgrading of national and international research infrastructures. The University of Turku is involved in five of the funded research infrastructures.
The funding supports cross-disciplinary research in the University’s three profiling areas that focus on immune mediated diseases, the evolution of human diversity, and the design of sustainable materials.
Altogether 143 researchers from Nigeria took part and completed a grant writing training organised and coordinated by the University of Turku’s Global Education Services in May and June 2022. The training sessions focused on the Horizon Europe research and innovation funding programme and were led by research funding specialists from the University’s Research Funding Unit.
The Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions of the Horizon 2020 programme offer researchers opportunities to work around the world in different universities. On 20–21 May, the University of Turku organised a workshop for international applicants which focused on applying for the Individual Fellowship funding.
The University of Turku offers the prerequisites for high-quality research. The significance of external funding for research is constantly growing, and the funders' terms are diverse. Working at the University Services, our research funding specialists support researchers in managing the increasing demands of research funding.
