The Finnish Research Impact Foundation’s Tandem Industry Academia Postdoc (TIA Postdoc) is opening a new call in the beginning of March. The call is open for applications from 3 March until 13 April.
The TIA Postdoc funding is intended to support joint research between research organizations and companies, targeting ambitious, pre-competitive collaborative research projects that advance both top-level research and business objectives. In a TIA Postdoc project, the postdoctoral researcher works half of the project duration with the academic partner and the other half with the industry partner in close collaboration.
The updated guidelines and funding terms will be published when the call opens on March 3.
The foundation will hold a info session 0n 3 March. Read more and register here.
