The Finnish Research Impact Foundation’s TIA Professor funding programme is being renewed and will continue from autumn 2026 under the name TIA Fellow.
TIA Fellow is designed for experienced, professor-level researchers who wish to carry out their own research project in collaboration with a company. The funding offers an opportunity to increase the impact of research, build new partnerships, and gain first-hand insight into industry-relevant research challenges.
The renewed model provides greater flexibility in the use of funding. The Fellow’s 12-month working period can be divided over a maximum of three years according to the needs of the research project.
The funding is intended for professors and associate professors at universities, as well as research professors and leading researchers at research institutes.
The TIA Fellow 2026 call opens on 1 September 2026.
