The Council of Finnish Academies is a cooperative body for the four science academies in Finland (Finnish Academy of Science and Letters, The Finnish Society of Sciences and Letters, The Finnish Academy of Technology and The Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences). We serve as a link and a broker between the national and global science community by representing Finland in international science organizations and allocating state subsidies to National Committees for international cooperation. The Human Rights Committee of the Council of Finnish Academies promotes the human rights of academics and strives for the freedom of science.
