Research funded by the Research Council of Finland produces reliable and up-to-date data to support decision-making in society. Solving complex challenges requires multidisciplinary research, which helps us to understand the underlying causes of phenomena, identify risks and potential solutions, and assess the impact of decisions.
Access to reliable, up-to-date, research-based information is crucial in order to be able to respond to unexpected challenges as well. A solid knowledge base and ensuring information resilience help us to make well-founded decisions even in rapidly changing situations.
The research projects we fund provide data based on scientific research for use at various stages of the decision-making process, for example in expert consultations and discussions, through knowledge brokering, and in the form of policy briefs, fact sheets and data compilations.
