Artificial intelligence (AI), the fastest developing general-purpose technology, is a key area for Finland’s competitiveness: every field and business needs AI expertise. Finnish AI research is among the best in Europe in selected fields of research, and we have a favorable operating environment for the creation, development, and utilization of AI technologies. The doctoral education pilot is a programme funded by the Finnish Ministry of Education and Culture for the period 2024-2027 and implemented by Finnish universities, which will fund a total of up to 1,000 new fixed-term doctoral researcher positions and part of the associated supervision. The programme will develop new practices in doctoral training that will enable doctoral researchers to complete their dissertations in three years and support their employment in a wide range of sectors of the Finnish society.
