Nb. In Converis, projects mean external funding related to JYU operations. More extensive studies (e.g. dissertations or Research Council of Finland CoEs) may include multiple funding components, each shown as a different project in Converis. Budget-funded studies (funding only from JYU) are not listed as projects. Regarding personal grants the data is not comprehensive. Start and end dates do not necessarily reflect exact months when the grant has been used. Project data has been recorded systematically since 2017.
