University of Helsinki

In 2019, University of Helsinki (UH) and Edinburgh, signed a Memorandum of Agreement, which focuses on Human Genomics and Forestry Science. Both universities have a record of expertise and world-class research in these fields and have successfully recruited eight PhD positions in both disciplines.

The agreement builds upon an existing relationship between researchers from Helsinki and Edinburgh Genomics – one of the leading genomics facilities in Europe.

There is also collaboration between Finnish researchers and Edinburgh’s Centre for Sustainable Forests and Landscapes with the Centre addressing the major challenges in forest sustainability and landscape management.
