Abstract

The survey is part of the larger INNOEVAL survey evaluating the Finnish National Innovation System from several angles. In this study, the representatives of various foundations gave their opinions on the Finnish National Innovation System. First, the respondents were not only asked to rate the current Finnish National Innovation System (NIS), but also the NIS as it was five years ago, and the NIS as it is expected to be after five years. Their views were probed on what kind of entity public sector actors in the Finnish NIS form. In addition, they assessed the development of the importance of foundations in the Finnish innovation system in the next five years. Opinions were canvassed on whether the legislation regarding foundations should be reformed to improve foundations' possibilities to support science, arts, and research. The respondents were also asked to indicate which fields their foundations supported, and whether their foundations would have the readiness to sponsor a professorship with the help of government support.
