2. EU Funding

• What would support

researchers in applying for EU funding?

15

2.1 ICT

• Local networks/knowledge

Local knowledge is important: some focus on

gaming software and the needs of local people, so

we should have good knowledge on information

area.

• Research support organizations

16

2.2 HEALTH, FOOD SECURITY & SAFETY

• Mentoring– Decide what target should we focus and what should not

be done

– Sharing and having training sessions like FinCEAL’s is important: learn from experienced people

• Funds for Proposal Writing

• Relevant EU Partners

• Easy-to-use list of Call

• Planning in advance (Preparation Strategy)

• Pre-evaluation

17


• Provide support (€) & info to/on networking events

• Make use of existing Finnish contacts!

E.g: If you need partner from Mekong, make use of existing Finnish contacts, somebody have the contact from the Mekong region, they maybe link up. Contact Aalto/FRRC/VITRI/UniPID

• Support for project preparation

• Training on project applications/calls

• LGU’s (Local Government Units’s) to involve decisions makers

• Support for creating contacts

18


• Money! for preparation and pre-evaluation

• Provide good, relevant examples

(templates…)

• Create clear and updated database of

consultants/experts in funding application

• Local support

– Customer/end users

– Government

Summary Notes

• LUKE is an emerging water resource institute

• CLEEN (consortium of the Finnish companies that make top quality research in Finland) & FIBIC (Industry on Forest and Biodiversity which do research on development) are typically large companies. They have own administrations as well but they are integrated into government’s projects also.

• Asian Studies in Turku has a catalogue: asianet.fi. A helpful catalogue to find studies in the same field.
