Our mission is to finance high-quality scientific research, act as a science and science policy expert, and strengthen the position of science and research. We work to contribute to the renewal, diversification and increasing internationalisation of Finnish research.

The Academy of Finland promotes excellent, responsible and high-impact research with a view to ensuring that society can make the best possible use of the results of that research. We produce high-quality data and analyses and support the use of scientific knowledge in policy-making. We work in close consultation with other stakeholders in the Finnish research, education and innovation system.
