About the Academy
The Finnish Academy of Science and Letters is a broad-based learned society founded in 1908 with the principal aim of promoting scientific research, acting as a bond between those engaged in advanced research and supporting better utilisation of high-quality research in decision-making. It currently has over 800 Finnish members and 180 external members, distinguished academics on whom membership has been conferred in recognition of their achievements.
The Academy arranges meetings, discussions and educational events, and also produces scientific publications, issues comments on questions of research and researchers with regard to matters of current interest in society at large and makes proposals concerning science and those engaged in it, thus taking an active part in the long-term planning of science policy. The Academy distributes over 2.5 million euros in grants every year, chiefly to young researchers.
