  3. Finland’s research and innovation performance: EU Member States’ innovation performance Note: Average performance is measured using a composite indicator building on data for 24 indicators going from a lowest possible performance of 0 to a maximum possible performance of 1. Average performance reflects performance in 2010/2011 due to a lag in data availability. The performance of Innovation leaders is 20%, or more above that of the EU27; of Innovation followers it is less than 20% abovebut more than 10% below that of the EU27; of Moderate innovators it is less than 10% below but more than 50% below that of the EU27; and for Modest innovators it is below 50% that of the EU27.

  11. Finland’s research and innovation performance: Priorities of the Finnish Government • Development Plan for Education and Research 2011-2016 • Research and Innovation Council chair by the Prime Minister: • Co-ordination and steering of policy actions will be strengthened • Prioritisation and selection of subject matters and contents will be undertaken • Universities, polytechnics and public R&D institutes are supported in raising their profiles and specialising in their fields of strength; the quality of research will be improved • Long-term infrastructure policy will be created and the wide use of public data enhanced • Evaluation expertise and the exploitation of evaluation data will be strengthened • Funding base for research and innovation will be diversified

  12. Finland’s research and innovation performance:Finnish education system • 14 universities in the administrative branch of the Ministry of Education, Science and Culture • two foundations under private law • twelve independent corporations under public law • Universities provide both teaching and research • 1,653 doctorates in 2011 • 80 % of Academy funding to universities

  13. Finland’s research and innovation performance: Finnish Higher Education System - degrees by level

  14. Yliopistoittain 2012 Finland’s research and innovation performance: Academy funding 2010–2012, by university Ten universities that received most funding (2012)

  15. International cooperation objectives: Finland’s policy lines for international activities • Internationality rejuvenates research and upgrades its quality. • High-quality research is international, therefore international activities are an integral part of all Academy activities. • All Academy funding opportunities are designed to support the upgrading of the quality of research and research environments (e.g. mobility, research collaboration, networking, recruitment, Finland Distinguished Professors). • The Research and Innovation Council chaired by the Prime Minister sets general policy lines and objectives for international activities. The Academy´s President is a member of the Council. • The Academy of Finland is a member of the national subcommittee on EU’s research and innovation issues (EU-20) composed of ministry representatives. EU-20 draws up common policy lines for EU RDI. • International activities of the Academy of Finland are coordinated by an international affairs group and country- and region-specific teams.

  16. International cooperation objectives: Academy of Finland’s international tasks Statutory tasks • Scientific cooperation: funding schemes, joint international programmes • Expert tasks in international science policy: expertise European Union – European Research Area • High-level expert groups: strategy • Steering groups and other working groups of Joint Programmes and networks: strategy, administration, best practices • Researchers in the EU Framework Programmes and in the Horizon 2020: encouragement, advice, funding Nordic cooperation • Nordic Council of Ministers and NordForsk European research institutes (treaties) Bilateral partnerships with research funding agencies of non-EU countries

  17. International cooperation objectives:European Research Area • The ‘internal market’ of research: free movement of knowledge and researchers, efficient coordination of actions • Actions under the EU’s competence:Framework programmes for research (FP7 2007–2013, Horizon 2020 2014–2020) • Joint actions by Member States and the EU • ERA-NETs, INCO-Nets and JPIs • ESFRI • Science Europe, ESF and COST • European research institutes: e.g. CERN, EMBL/EMBC, ESA, ESO, EUI, ESFR, FAIR, IIASA • Member States’ own actions to promote the European Research Area • Development and cooperation of national research systems

  18. International cooperation objectives:European Union • The Academy of Finland participates and is an influential force in European science policy both as an independent agency and through umbrella organisations (Science Europe, NordForsk) • We take part in the national administration of EU framework programmes through programme committee work and dissemination of information (NCP) • We serve as Finland’s representative on science policy groups (GPC, ESFRI) • We are actively involved in EU-funded networks and programmes (ERA-NET, INCO-Net, JPI)

  19. Examples of cooperation:ERA-NETs, INCO-Nets and JPIs • ERA-NETs: a funding scheme for the promotion of cooperation between national research funding agencies and researchers • INCO-Nets: a funding scheme aimed at networking research agencies between European countries and third countries • The Academy of Finland is involved in 16 ERA-NETs and partner in two INCO-Nets • Projects funded with some EUR 20 million in 2007–2012 • JPIs (Joint Programming Initiatives): extensive research programmes prepared and implemented by different countries in societally important key areas • Ten JPIs ongoing; nine involve researchers from Finland • Two JPIs have launched calls; the Academy has participated in both calls • Programmes (Article 185) such as Bonus
