The Strategic Research Council (SRC) established within the Research Council of Finland proposes that the Finnish Government adopt two themes for the six-year strategic research programmes to be launched in 2025.

The proposed themes are:

  • Economy and welfare in an era of strategic competition
  • Skills, labour supply and migration in future Finland.

The proposed cross-cutting priority is artificial intelligence.

The Government will discuss the SRC’s theme proposal and decide the final theme, after which the SRC will be responsible for launching the research programmes and opening the funding calls. The calls are typically opened in late autumn.
