———–

Vilho, Yrjö and Kalle Väisälä Fund distributes grants to representatives of fields of research included in the mathematical and natural sciences. The Board of the Finnish Academy of Science and Letters ensures that fields close to those in which Vilho Väisälä and his brothers worked are well represented. Those fields are physics, mathematics, geophysics, meteorology and astronomy.

A recent innovation is that the Väisälä Fund joined the post doc pool set up by the Council of Finnish Foundations to provide longer scholarships for postdoctoral research work abroad.
