Evaluation Report Publications of the Academy of Finland 1/11

Research environment
The infrastructure is very good, especially considering the whole Otaniemi site, with 
VTT nearby. The discrepancy between two-year project funding and the duration of a 
PhD thesis is problematic, as noted in almost all units.
Research networking and interaction
The national industrial contacts are very good. The international mobility is 
exemplary, both as regards the people from other countries choosing to work in this 
lab, and the people from the lab spending time abroad.

Recommendations
The group should maintain its strategy, which results in extensive research of a very 
high quality.
The name of the group does not do justice to the depth and breadth of its research 
work. The group’s international mobility (in both directions) is an example for other 
chemistry labs in Finland.
