Finland attracts foreign top researchers [13.03.2006]
The first call for plans of intent within the Finland Distinguished Professor (FiDiPro) funding programme gave even a better result than expected. Finnish universities and research institutes named close to a hundred foreign or expatriate Finnish researchers whose visit to Finland they propose to Tekes and the Academy of Finland to be funded within the programme. The first researchers coming to Finland through FiDiPro will start work in 2007.
