Societal resilience is built through long-term, proactive efforts. High-quality research and expertise help society respond effectively to rapidly changing situations. The Research and Innovation Council has identified security, resilience and defence as one of the strategic priorities of Finland’s national RDI policy and activities. The Research Council of Finland supports science and expertise that improve Finland’s competitiveness and security.
Finland’s pioneering expertise in areas such as quantum technology and space demonstrates the long-term impact of bold investments in research. We need the ability and courage to take risks, make long-term investments and build close cooperation between research organisations, companies and funders.
