Dear all,
The Academy of Finland has published calls for applications for its September calls. Funding opportunities will be opened for Research Fellowship, Clinical Researcher, Project funding, Sport Science research projects and Mobility.
The calls open on 25 August and close on either 28 September or 5 October depending on the call. All call texts and guidelines can be found on the Academy’s website: https://www.aka.fi/en/research-funding/apply-for-funding/calls-for-applicati...
The Research Fellowships funding has been revised this year and there are significant changes. Please attend the Academy's Ask and Apply webinars to learn more and utilize the in-house support we offer this year for Academy applicants:
Abstract Workshops for Academy Research Fellow applicants
We started the abstract workshops on 7 June but if you hurry you can still participate. The first workshop (7.6.) was an introduction to writing an abstract. The recording and presentation material is available for participants on the Teams where the workshop continues. Please contact terhi.kuusisto@oulu.fimailto:terhi.kuusisto@oulu.fi if you wish to take part. Participants will draft their abstracts by 13 June and share them with a small group of academic peers to get - as well as give - comments by 20 June. We will have a final webinar on 21 June at 9-10 am for feedback, observations and information about further support.
