Research environment
The research infrastructure is very good, especially considering the opportunities of
the joint UTU and ÅA campus as well as the opportunities offered through Turku
Science Park. The unit largely has access to all of the state-of-the-art equipment it
needs. The panel was particularly impressed by the commitment of the City of Turku
to developing a strong scientific research environment in Southwest Finland through
its investment in and support for Turku Science Park.
Research networking and interaction
The collaborations inside Finland are good, although some potential collaborative
partners are limited due to the competition for the same funding opportunities within
their own specialised fields. The international relations are very good. The recruitment
of senior researchers seems to have a preference for people with a background from
ÅA. The faculty members actively use opportunities for sabbaticals, although the
possibilities for funding the sabbaticals are considered too limited. The panel notes that
many different motivations prevent PhD/postdoctoral mobility, to some extent
hampering the exchange of internal PhD students/postdoctoral researchers.
