Evaluation Report Publications of the Academy of Finland 1/11

Research quality
The research output from the unit is outstanding, in particular considering the size of 
the unit and the resources available. Publications are in high-level journals with the 
highest impact factors for general chemistry, and they have received attention. 
Researchers and students from the unit participate regularly and actively in 
international conferences. PhDs from the unit are encouraged to work elsewhere after 
finishing their degree, and finding employment has not been difficult. As part of the 
ongoing generation change, the unit has carried out recruitment of staff graduated 
from the unit and with international postdoctoral experience. 
The research strategy, with focused diversity in subtopics, collaborations 
nationally or internationally for access to additional competencies and close and 
productive interactions within the unit, is viable and has already resulted in good 
international visibility.
