The program will hire 85 postdoctoral researchers to 12 Finnish government research institutes between 2025 and 2028. Postdoctoral researchers will drive impactful, high-level research bridging science, industry, and administration.
The programme is supported by Finland’s long-term R&D funding. The purpose of State’s R&D funding, together with R&D investments from the businesses sector, is to raise Finland’s R&D expenditure to 4% of GDP by 2030.
This research will advance global high-resolution climate modeling within a European consortium developing digital twins of the Earth system.
Critical metals are essential for the global transition to a sustainable, low-carbon future. This project supports Europe’s urgent need for critical raw materials by exploring Finland’s ancient crust.
This research investigates how to improve the structure-property analysis of materials using machine learning interatomic potentials.
The main objective is to accelerate the discovery of novel steels for hydrogen applications using high-throughput strategies and the development of the materials acceleration platform concept. It will accelerate the additive manufacturing of previously unattainable high-strength, tough steels.
The concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are constantly rising, and unexpected evolution of the carbon dioxide sinks and sources has drawn attention recently.
As climate change progresses, the importance of adaptation is increasingly recognized across society. A disconnect exists between research and practice, as research outputs often fail to meet regional priorities and needs of businesses in climate change adaptation (CCA) planning.
