The Nessling Foundation's mission is to support scientific research and projects that contribute to environmental protection. It focuses on promoting the communication and implementation of research knowledge to tackle environmental challenges effectively.
The Nessling Foundation's General Call focuses on innovative projects and active researchers that contribute to sustainability transformations, aiming to protect natural systems. The grant supports implementation projects where research translates into practical use through collaboration between knowledge producers and users. It emphasizes the importance of understanding and addressing the current ecological crisis by supporting projects across various sectors that collectively undergo transformations for a sustainable future. The Foundation encourages multidisciplinary projects and cooperation between different disciplines or sectors, aiming for the transfer of knowledge and information to end-users. Although projects do not need to be limited to Finland, their outcomes should be applicable to Finnish society's decision-making and environmental goals.
