The Call for HELSUS Fellowships, Seed Funding and Visitors Program received 64 eligible applications, which were evaluated based on the announced criteria, by the HELSUS steering committee. Based on this evaluation, the PROFI3 steering committee, comprised of the Deans of the six HELSUS faculties, made the final decisions on the applications to be funded. Impressed by the high quality of fellow applications within the Humanities, the Faculty of Arts decided to increase their initial funding, and thus enable the financing of two outstanding projects. Two of the overall post-doctoral fellows are specifically funded by a donation made to HELSUS for developing sustainability science.
