Research centres, projects and networks Research groups Research Centres Research projects Centres of excellence in research Spearhead projects Innovative Research Initiatives Finnish Russian Research Collaboration Projects Doctoral programmes Projects on education and work Learning materials and programmes	Research Groups and Areas Below you will find links to the web pages of the various research groups functioning at the University of Eastern Finland, as well as to pages containing information on research areas and topics covered by different departments and units. The links are sorted by faculty. The list is not conclusive, because not all groups have web pages and some material is not available in English. All university researchers, publications, research projects and experts can be found in the Current Research Information System, CRIS.
