We are happy to announce that the Geoportti RI, an open geospatial data research infrastructure, was selected in the top 21 of Finnish research infrastructures in the Research Council of Finland’s roadmap for Finnish research infrastructures 2025–2028. Geoportti services promote Finland’s RDI goals by, for example, providing open easy-to-use geospatial datasets and high-performance computing services for researchers, decision-makers and companies to accelerate research, development and innovation.
The Research Council of Finland’s research infrastructure committee selected Geoportti to join 21 national research infrastructures in the roadmap for 2025–2028. In addition, the position in the roadmap ensures funding for the development of services until 2029. The roadmap aims to promote research and development by acting as a tool for research communities, decision-makers and funding providers in steering investments and supporting research, development and innovation. The vision is that high-quality research infrastructures lay the foundation of RDI activities.
GIST Lab and Aalto University is one of the core members of the Geoportti RI and Dr. Henrikki Tenkanen acts as the deputy director of the Geoportti RI.
