Research quality The research output is at a very high level considering the size of the unit. The unit is
publishing in good international journals and the papers are well cited. In particular
the groups on synthetic chemistry have produced a high number of well-cited papers
in the evaluation period. They also have productive collaborations with other
departments at the Kuopio Campus and elsewhere. The most cited work from the
NMR group is on integrator transforms and dates back 15 years. This work also
formed the basis of the spin-off company that was founded in 2002 and presently
attracts independent external funding to the tune of about €500,000 a year.
