The Pool’s aim is to make Finnish research more international by offering young scholars flexible funding from one source that covers all expenses of a research period abroad for 6 to 24 months, preferably 1 or 2 years.
Säätiöiden post doc -pooli has two application rounds per year: the spring application round in January, and the autumn application round from 1 January to 31 January, and 15 August to 15 September.
