The different programmes, Maupertuis Programme, Magnus Ehrnrooth Ph.D. cotutelle, France-Nokia Chaire d’Excellence, and FINA, promoted by the French Institute in Finland aim to develop scientific and academic cooperation between France and Finland by giving researchers the opportunity to develop their international experience and network.
Maupertuis-Programme
The Maupertuis programme aims to strengthen bilateral cooperation in the fields of science, innovation and higher education in the areas of interest for France and Finland. The French Institute in Finland, the French Embassy to Finland and the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research in partnership with the Finnish Society for Science and Letters open a twofold call for projects ; Short mobility of researchers (SMR) and “Education, Research and Innovation” (ERI-W) workshops. The SMR grant allows selected researchers and doctoral students in France and Finland to meet their counterparts for a short period and initiate or strengthen cooperation in the fields of science, innovation and higher education in areas of research of mutual interest. The ERI workshop grant enables the French Finnish team of research to initiate and organize workshops covering research, education and innovation areas in France or in Finland.
