THE STATE OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH IN FINLAND 2012

INTRODUCTION

The first chapter of this report describes the changing operating environment of Finnish science and the state of the Finnish research system in an international context.
Researchers and research funding agencies are under ever mounting pressure to demonstrate their effectiveness and impact. Education and science policy objectives have been updated at both national and international level with a view to improving framework conditions for research and to enhancing the quality and impact of research. The pursuit of these objectives is contributing to shape the operating environment of research; examples are provided by the development of doctoral training programmes and the European Union’s framework programmes for research. The operating environment of scientific research is also impacted by factors or phenomena that are not directly connected to the process of doing research; these include climate change, globalisation and healthcare. The first chapter examines national and international statistics as well as results from the VINDI project, a joint undertaking by Tekes, the Finnish Funding Agency for Technology and Innovation, the Academy of Finland, Statistics Finland and the Research and Innovation Council,1 drawing on data about Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees and postgraduate training as a foundation for research, the economic and human resources of R&D as well as the performance and impact of research.
