Tietotekniikan tutkimussäätiö supports information technology research, education, and advisory work that benefits Finland, with a clear preference for practical, high-quality projects and academic excellence. Its giving spans small project grants, travel support, and prizes for outstanding doctoral research, and it also runs occasional themed calls such as AI as a driver of growth and responsibility. The funder appears especially interested in applied IT work that can translate into real-world impact, including responsible AI, technology development, and innovative training concepts.
Small grants of roughly €1,000–€10,000 through an ongoing open application process, plus limited rolling travel reimbursements up to €1,500 and annual invite-only dissertation prizes. The foundation also issues occasional thematic calls with specific topic framing, and awards are generally modest, program-specific, and Finland-focused.

Check the foundation’s website for the continuous open call and any themed calls, since most project funding is rolling rather than tied to one annual deadline. Proposals should be concise, clearly connected to information technology, and show practical benefit for Finland; travel support is limited to research-related travel, not business travel, and dissertation prizes are nomination-based rather than open applications.
