Academy of Finland to open six calls within five
Academy Programmes The Academy of Finland's April 2019 call will include six calls implemented under the Academy Programmes funding scheme. Four of the calls involve new Academy Programmes, while
two calls are supplements to existing programmes. The aim of
the Molecular Regulatory Networks of Life Academy Programme (R'Life,
2020–2023) is to broaden our understanding of the function and structure of the genome. The programme's total funding budget is 8 million euros. The Academy will
launch two R'Life calls.
The aim of
the C1 Value Academy Programme
(C1 Value 2020–2023) is to find solutions to reduce the amount of carbon compounds in the atmosphere and to utilise C1 compounds in the manufacture of industrial
products and materials. The funding budget has been set at 6 million euros. The Academy Programme Climate Change and Health (CLIHE,
2020–2023) is designed to include research into the direct and indirect effects of climate change on human health and on maintaining and promoting health, and into
developing new assessment techniques and examining the associated prerequisites and risks in the short and long term. The programme's total funding budget is 8 million euros. The
Academy Programme Radiation Detectors for Health, Safety and Security (RADDESS, 2018–2022) will open a supplementary call targeted at research teams engaged in international
cooperation. The international collaboration partner must be based in a country outside the EU. Funding will be granted to projects researching device-driven and functional radiation detection systems. The call's funding budget comes to a maximum of 2 million
euros. The Digital Humanities Academy Programme (DIGIHUM, 2016–2022)
will open a supplementary call for research projects that address novel methods and techniques in which digital technology and state-of-the-art computational science methods are used for collecting, managing and analysing data in humanities and social sciences
research. The programme's total funding budget is 3 million euros. The calls will open on Tuesday, 2 April. The deadline for applications is Wednesday, 24 April 2019 at 16.15 local Finnish time. The full call texts will be published on 7 March. The Academy will organise a webinar about the programme calls on 21 March at 13.00–15.00. University of Oulu Research Support Services will organise an event to follow the webinar
together, after which an internal info event will follow. Call for Academy Professor applications to open in September 2019 The Academy of Finland will open the next call for Academy Professor applications during the September 2019 call. Applications are submitted in two stages. The letters of intent
are reviewed in the September call panels. Applicants for the second call stage are chosen based on the review reports. The second stage will open in spring 2020. The review panels will rank the applicants. The applicants that are invited to the second stage are proposed by the Academy research councils to the General Subcommittee, which
will decide who goes through to the second stage. Applications for the second stage are submitted to the Academy in June 2020. International panels of experts will review the second-stage applications at the beginning of September. The General Subcommittee
will make the funding decisions in autumn 2020. The funding period begins on 1 September 2021. An Academy Professor is an expert who is an internationally esteemed researcher in their field, whose scientific endeavours are viewed to have significant impact on the scientific
community and the society. They are expected to promote research in their own field both during and after their Academy Professorship. Research posts as Academy Professor are intended for fixed-term, full-time research work. The term is five years. At present, there are
34 researchers working as Academy Professors
funded by the Academy of Finland. More information: Vice President for Research Maijala Riitta, tel. +358 295 335 002, firstname.lastname(at)aka.fi Ennakkotietoja Suomen Akatemian FIRI 2019 hausta ja yliopiston sisäinen hakuaika /

seven themes: Artificial intelligence:
Communality:
Market Economy 2030:
Learning and knowledge use.
Biofutures 2100:
Health:
Technology:
A tentative timetable for the next calls for strategic research is as follows:
