Evaluation Report Publications of the Academy of Finland 1/11

Research environment
The experimental infrastructure is excellent. The laboratory is up-to date and well-
equipped with both small-scale and large-scale instruments for X-ray diffraction and 
spectroscopic equipments covering all standard techniques. The unit benefits from the 
support of two technicians and one administrative officer. Within the Department, the 
unit also shares human resources (staff in electronic and machine shops) for the 
maintenance or creation of custom-designed equipment. The teaching load of the 
faculty members is high and mainly involves courses in first-year chemical education. 
On average, nine Master’s students graduate each year. In addition, six PhDs were 
completed during the evaluation period.
