About the foundation
Foundation for Aalto University Science and Technology is a foundation established by Finnish industry in 1979. Its Board comprises representatives from Aalto University, Confederation of Finnish Industries (EK), Technology Industries of Finland (Teknologiateollisuus), Finnish Forest Industries (Mets盲teollisuus), Confederation of Finnish Construction Industries RT (Rakennusteollisuus) and The Chemical Industry Federation of Finland (Kemianteollisuus).
Instructions for Foundation's grant applicants
The instructions on this page mainly concern grants awarded from donations for thesis work by students of Aalto University schools of technology. Instructions and forms for scholarships granted annually for doctoral studies and postdoctoral visits, from the Foundations special funds, can be found in "Grant application and deed of gift forms".
Foundation's grant application and deed of gift forms
Foundation for Aalto University Science and Technology awards grants for MSc and Doctoral theses. The grants awarded by the Foundation are mostly funded by Finnish industrial companies, who may direct their gift to the Foundation to be used for research in a field of technology of their choice.
