Nokia Oyj:n Säätiö (the Nokia Foundation) primarily supports advanced ICT research and the academic talent pipeline in Finland, with a strong emphasis on doctoral, postdoctoral, and faculty-level mobility. Its giving is especially distinctive for funding international research exchanges and joint programs that connect Finnish scholars with leading institutions abroad, while also backing high-potential, innovative research projects inside Finnish universities. The foundation tends to fund individuals and universities rather than broad public-service nonprofits.
Competitive, application-based scholarships, fellowships, and research grants with fixed deadlines; award sizes range from small travel/visit grants to larger project grants of up to about €75,000. Funding is often tied to specific programs and is awarded for one-time or short-term research support, rather than long-term general operating support.

Applicants should align closely with ICT-focused research, demonstrate strong academic merit and international collaboration, and pay close attention to call windows such as the annual scholarship and fellowship deadlines.
