Evaluation Report Publications of the Academy of Finland 1/11

Research quality
The research quality of the unit is overall very good. The number of articles published 
by the unit is fair for its size, but the papers have a good impact in the relevant 
international scientific communities. The newly appointed professor is fairly young 
and has been taking over an extensive activity from his predecessor. This appears to 
have worked well, but it is important that the new professor can set his own research 
agenda. The panel noted that the research strategy for this unit appeared less 
consolidated than for the other units of the PCC.
The different units of the PCC work well together and have a number of joint 
projects. The panel got the impression that the PCC is a truly collaborative effort 
between excellent research teams supported by a jointly shared administrative level. 
The scientific productivity of the PCC is overall quite high and the different senior 
researchers have a good international reputation.
