Dear all,

some of you have experienced difficulties with the Academy of Finland electronic forms (in SARA) and especially with the forms for the research plan.

The academy has prepared quite detailed instructions to help you out with the forms and I have attached the instructions (in FI/ENG) for filling out the Research plan.

One thing that may affect the process is the browser that you use so please check that you are using one of the recommended browsers.

Text can be filled out under the subheadings but not under the main headings.

This year the AoF will not allow submission of the Research plan as a separate pdf-file so it is important to make the best out of the forms.

Other instructions for the electronic forms can be found here:

Please do not hesitate to ask if you encounter any problems and send your drafts for review as soon as possible.

We will have the Kontinkangas info online on 7.9

Best regards,

Emma
