SA FINMARI FIRI 2025-2028

Introduction

The Finnish Marine Research Infrastructure (FINMARI) combines all major partners of the Finnish marine research community (University of Helsinki, University of Turku, Åbo Akademi, Finnish Environment Institute (Syke), Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI), Geological Survey of Finland (GTK) and Natural Resources Institute Finland (Luke)) into an integrated and distributed research infrastructure. It includes field stations, research vessels, laboratory facilities, flow-through platforms, autonomous measurement platforms and buoys within the partnership.

FINMARI provides access to observational and experimental marine research facilities. The infrastructure development plan is based on addressing the multiscale variability of the marine environment by integrating the complementary areas of expertise of each partner. FINMARI concentrates on the global Triple Crisis, biodiversity loss, climate change and pollution, develops Open Access to data and services, and acts as a link between science and policy makers. FINMARI also has a broad impact on society, beyond the scientific community.
