The Board of the Academy of Finland has selected new Centres of Excellence (CoE) in Research for 2012‒2017. A total of 15 units, involving research teams from eleven universities or research institutes, were selected to the new Centre of Excellence Programme. The new CoEs will be conducting research in a wide spectrum of research fields, ranging from the interaction between cells and intercellular substance, molecular systems immunology and physiology and Russia’s modernisation to the history of the structures of Finnish society.
Centres of Excellence in research (CoEs) are at the cutting edge of research in their respective fields. Through Finnish programmes for CoEs, the Academy of Finland provides substantial and visible direction to Finnish science.
The Academy’s CoE programmes are a significant funding scheme in the Finnish research system. By providing six-year funding, the programmes offer an excellent opportunity for research teams and consortia to carry out research of a high international standard.
