Funding opportunities and Search tools

Aurora database

In the Aurora database you can search for funding opportunities in the fields of science, art and culture. The database focuses mainly on Finnish calls. It informs researchers comprehensively on the open and upcoming calls of different foundations, in particular.

Finnish funding agencies

Business Finland and Academy of Finland calls for proposals usually take place in spring and autumn. Ask our research services for advice and support for preparing applications well before the calls open.

International cooperation

From the EU search portal link below, you can view all open and upcoming calls for the Horizon Europe programmes.

Our research services experts will provide information and guidelines on application procedures, and support you during all stages of preparing your application.
