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. However, the
recruitment of senior researchers seems to be almost exclusively 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 motives prevent PhD/postdoctoral mobility, to some extent hampering the
exchange of internal PhD students/postdoctoral researchers.
