Finland – Call for Cooperation and Mobility Projects with Finnish Higher Education Institutions
The purpose of the Team Finland Knowledge (TFK) programme is to create and strengthen cooperation between Finnish higher education institutions and the target regions and countries selected to the TFK network, and to design new operating models for cooperation. The programme funds educational cooperation between higher education institutions through cooperation and mobility projects.
In 2025, the TFK programme will finance cooperation with Southern Africa, Latin America, Southeast Asia, India and China.
Who can participate:
The programme is open to all higher education institutions in Finland and in the target regions and countries of the programme which are China, India, Russia, Southern Africa, Southeast Asia and Latin America. The programme is open to all degree levels and disciplines.
The project involves at least one higher education institution from Finland and one higher education institution from an eligible target country. Finnish higher education institutions are encouraged to engage in national cooperation in their cooperation initiatives related to the TFK programme. The aim is to engage in cooperation with higher education institutions in eligible target countries that are strategically important to their Finnish partners. In addition to higher education institutions, projects can also involve other operators or organisations, such as companies or associations.
The funding must be applied for by a Finnish higher education institution, which submits the funding application to the Finnish National Agency for Education on behalf of the entire partner network.
What is funded:
The programme funds educational cooperation between higher education institutions through cooperation and mobility projects. Participating projects must involve educational cooperation at one or several different degree levels.
Granted project funding can be used to cover two categories of costs:
1) Travel costs, which must account for at least 50% of the project funding.
2) Organisational and other costs, which can account for up to 50% of the project funding.
When:
Granted funding can be used during the period of 1 August 2025 – 31 December 2027. The maximum support a single project can receive is €80,000.
