Networks of the academic disciplines
Academic networks in Finland have created online activity networks for specific disciplines and for multidisciplinary fields. The network websites provide information on, e.g., courses in the field, doctoral programmes and current events.
The list below includes both the networks which obtained earmarked virtual university funding from the Ministry of Education in 2001-2006, as well as networks funded from other sources.
