Hi all,

Valio Food 2.0 Business Finland program is looking for collaborative partners across the University. See the attached, and let me know if interested.

Note that their RDI needs (page 5 in the attachment) have many keywords that are broad and general, and linked to a lot of the research ongoing or planned at our unit (Measuring and modeling biodiversity, carbon cycles, water management, gene technologies, remote sensing to name a few.

Cheers, Heikki)
