In the September 2019 call, 25 million euros in additional funds are allocated to the Academy Project funding to support the younger generation of researchers. The applications will be reviewed and decided on as Academy Project applications. The research councils will choose the projects that will receive the additional funding.
The basis for receiving funding from the Academy of Finland is the high quality, impact and renewal of research. Additionally, the Academy requires that all Academy-funded research projects commit to open access publishinghttps://www.aka.fi/en/funding/apply-for-funding/az-index-of-application-guidelines/open-science/. The research plan must also describe how the project takes into account the principles of sustainable developmenthttps://www.aka.fi/en/funding/apply-for-funding/az-index-of-application-guidelines/sustainable-development/ and the ethical questionshttps://www.aka.fi/en/funding/apply-for-funding/az-index-of-application-guidelines/ethical-questions/.
The call texts have been reformed: each funding opportunity has its own site with a list of its dedicated contact persons. All material related to application is now collected in the Academy's application site in the A-Z index of application guidelines.
