We are happy to announce that the FinCEAL travel grants are now OPEN! The main purpose of these grants is to facilitate the participation of Finland-based researchers in meetings and workshops that contribute to FinCEAL’s objectives of enhancing involvement in bi-regional science, technology and innovation cooperation and policy dialogue between Europe and Africa/LAC within the project thematic areas:
 

• Africa: Food Security, Health, Climate Change, Renewable Energy and Information Society;
 

• LAC: Bioeconomy, Health, Biodiversity and Climate Change, Renewable Energy and ICT for Societal Challenges.

 

More information on the Call and Application process can be found here.

The FinCEAL InfoBank will be launched in September! The InfoBank is an interdisciplinary database of research projects carried out by the Finnish research community on/in Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean.

This new platform has been created as a mandate from the Ministry of Education and Culture. The purpose of the InfoBank is to:
 

•Facilitate knowledge exchange, communication and cooperation between researchers focusing on these regions in Finland  

•Enhance transparency 

•Act as a distribution channel for disseminating information on relevant funding calls

•Act as a contact point for the Ministries and Finnish missions abroad seeking for Finnish research expertise 
 

More information on the InfoBank will be posted soon on the UniPID website and the FinCEAL LinkedIn group.

 

 

If you are a researcher working with one or both of these regions, please take a few minutes to fill in the questionnaire. Your answer contributes to the baseline statistics of the project and the development of the project activities. Thank you for your cooperation!

 

Get involved, discuss and receive up-to-date information on FinCEAL activities, events and open funding calls. Join our FinCEAL group on Linkedin.
