- High-quality education and research provides a sustained basis for Finnish

their contribution in this important role by financing research done by post-
graduate students and postdoctoral researchers in particular. This year we can
offer financial support to 30 young talented researchers. This is a major
contribution to Finnish research and future, says Jaakko Pehkonen, Chairman of
the Board of OP Financial Groups Research Foundation and the Kyösti Haataja
Foundation.
Established in 1972, OP Financial Group's Research Foundation is one of the
