Finland Country Report 2021

This is the fifth ERA-LEARN Country Report on participation in public-to-public (P2P) partnerships in research and innovation in a series of country reports. The first four reports covered Poland, Austria, Spain and Belgium. This report focuses on Finland. The country reports provide an analysis of participation in P2Ps and try to explain the performance of a country in publicly funded partnerships within the overall context of the relevant national and regional research and innovation system. The goal of the country reports is to provide an overall picture of participation of a country in publicly funded partnerships, comparing this also to other countries of interest as well as the EU14, EU13 and EU27 overall averages. This may be useful for individual organisations in the specific country as they might only have a fragmented picture of the situation or they might lack explanations for certain features that may be found in the wider R&I context of the country. The report may also be useful for organisations in other countries that wish to learn the reasons behind the ‘position’ of a particular country and/or learn from other countries’ exemplary performances.
