Evaluation Report Publications of the Academy of Finland 1/11

4.4  Aalto University, Forest Technology
Overview
This is a large department (more than 150 people, budget more than €10m), but the 
present evaluation concerns only the chemistry part of the department. The average 
values over the reference period are: three professors, four senior researchers, one 
postdoctoral researcher and 24 PhD students. A steady growth can be seen during the 
period: in 2009, more than 60 people belong to the chemistry part of the department, 
among them four professors, eight other senior or postdoctoral researchers and 25 
PhD students. Roughly one-fifth of the total funding was core funding, the main 
external resources coming from Tekes and industry (30–40% each). There has been a 
steady increase of global funding, which is mainly thanks to an increase in Tekes 
funding (more than 50% of the budget in 2009).
