Dear Researchers,

For your information this tool/opportunity from FARIA network to facilitate cooperation with U.S. The below mentioned FARIA focus areas are A.I, The Welfare state of the future, 6G and Bioeconomy but ideas from other fields are also welcome!

 

 

Dear colleague,

 

We are testing a new service on the FARIA website:

 

Under Wanted! | Finnish-American Research & Innovation Accelerator (faria.network) one can leave project ideas or collaboration requests to find U.S.-partners (and vice versa).

 

If we get a decent amount of submissions, we will curate a collection of projects and integrate them in our U.S.-engagement activities, such as in newsletter, direct promotion and matching activities for funding calls etc.

 

In case of a very large amount of submissions, we will prioritize project ideas which are closest to FARIA focus areas, however, for the moment we welcome broad participation.  

 

Background:

The Finnish-American Research & Innovation Accelerator (FARIA) is a strategic US-focused platform, which integrates, aligns and supports joint & associated actions of Finnish member institutions.

  1. It creates visibility for Finnish RDI-excellence and simplifies contact facilitation between Finland and key-regions in the US.
  2. It serves as launch pad for concrete RDI-projects from ideation over funding generation to implementation.
  3. It supports an alignment of Finnish US-engagement activities 

To date there are 12 Finnish universities and 4 universities of applied sciences organized in FARIA. We represent 89 % of the national RDI-power within the higher education sector.

 

Kindest regards,

 

Jérôme
