Strategic research – research-based knowledge for society

The Strategic Research Council (SRC) funds high-quality research with great societal relevance and impact. SRC-funded research seeks concrete solutions to grand challenges that require multidisciplinary approaches.

The Strategic Research Council (SRC) is an independent body established within the Academy of Finland. The Academy of Finland promotes excellent, responsible and high-impact research and ensures that society can make the best possible use of the results of the research.

Policy briefs

Policy briefs offer research-based information to support decision-making. SRC-funded projects produce a huge amount of research knowledge about Finnish society, and this knowledge should be passed on to policymakers so that it can be used, for example, in the preparation of legislation. A policy brief is a good tool for supporting science communication and promoting the social impact of research.
