FARIA
Accelerating Research and Innovation Collaboration between Finland and the United States of America
FARIA'S MISSION
The Finnish-American Research & Innovation Accelerator (FARIA) is a strategic US-focused network, serving as platform which integrates, aligns and supports joint and associated actions of Finnish member institutions.
It creates visibility for Finnish RDI-excellence and simplifies contact facilitation between Finland and key-regions in the US.
It serves as launch pad for concrete RDI-projects from ideation over funding generation to implementation.
It supports alignment of Finnish US-engagement activities.
In short: We create an environment that supports Finnish higher education institutions to collaborate with each other and US-partners in RDI relevant areas.
