The funding workshop offers practical tips and insights on how to successfully apply for funding especially from the Finnish foundations (e.g., Kone Foundation, The Finnish Cultural Foundation) as well as support from both experts and peers.
In the first part of the workshop, Research Specialist Maija Ojala-Fulwood (SOC) gives an introduction to writing a successful funding application and to the services offered by the university. After this, Doctoral Researcher Nanna Numento (Literary Studies) and Postdoctoral Researchers Elise Kraatila (Literary studies) and Reetta Eiranen (Experiential history) share their personal experiences of successful funding applications for doctoral and early career postdoctoral research.
The second part of the workshop focuses on practical work. Participants have the unique opportunity to read and discuss funding applications that have been submitted to the Finnish foundations and get feedback for their own research ideas. For this part of the workshop, participants are expected to bring an abstract-length description (max. 2000 characters) of their own research idea or project either in English or in Finnish.
