Suomalainen Tiedeakatemia is a learned society and science academy that supports high-quality research, especially in the mathematical and natural sciences, and acts as a connector for leading researchers in Finland. Its funding is oriented toward individual scholars and research projects, with a strong emphasis on postdoctoral mobility, research stays abroad, and named funds tied to specific disciplines such as mathematics, physics, astronomy, and meteorology. It also backs science communication and public advocacy for the role of research in society.
Primarily program-based grants and prizes through named funds, with some invite-only awards and discipline-specific calls. Grants are often targeted at individual researchers, including postdocs and active scholars, with biannual or annual deadlines depending on the program; some opportunities are short-term research residencies or project-based support.

Watch the academy’s funded programs and calls pages closely, since deadlines vary by fund and some opportunities are only announced in individual calls. Applicants should align proposals tightly with the specific named fund’s discipline and eligibility rules; several programs are limited to Finnish researchers, postdoctoral scholars, or invite-only awards.
