Finnish Secretariat for EU R&D promotes FP7

Finland is one of the most research-intensive countries in the world. The keys to success are a long-term commitment as well as cooperation between companies, researchers and funding organisations such as Tekes and Academy of Finland.

As an EU member state, Finland is highly involved in the development of the European Research and Innovation Area. The increased Finnish participation in the European Framework Programme has played a crucial role in the internationalisation of Finnish R&D.

The Finnish Secretariat for EU R&D communicates EU framework programme funding opportunities and EU policy issues to all Finnish stakeholders in companies, universities, research institutes, governmental agencies and municipalities.

The secretariat gives general information and advice on FP7 and coordinates the Finnish National Contact Point System. It also monitors the EU project landscape and Finnish participation.
