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.
Below you will find policy briefs produced by SRC-funded projects in English. More policy briefs are available in Finnish on our Finnish web pages.
