Research funding databases

We also recommend research funding databases for exploring funding opportunities:

  1. Funding calls in the Research.fi online service (former national funding database for science and art Aurora)
  2. Research Professional:

Research Professional is a service that Uniarts Helsinki subscribes to and it can be accessed from all Uniarts computers connected to the Uniarts network. If you create a personal user account, you can access the service on any computer using your Uniarts credentials. As a registered user you can also save personal searches and receive email alerts on funding opportunities and/or news matching your own search criteria.

To register, go to www.researchprofessional.com and choose University of the Arts in the dropdown list under Log in with your university account, then click Log in and follow instructions. After this you can move on to editing your profile or email alerts by clicking the My Profile button.

See guides and online training on the Research Professional website.

On the Research Professional YouTube channel you can also find short videos that will introduce you to the basic functions of the site.
