The Parliamentary Working Group on Research, Development and Innovation 2022 was appointed by the Government on 7 April 2022 to continue the work of the previous working group, which operated in 2021. The task of the 2022 working group was to draw up a pian for R&D funding that extends beyond the spending limits period, to serve as a monitoring group for the preparation of the Act on Research and Development Funding and to monitor the implementation of the decisions and policy outlines made by the 2021 working group. The Act on Research and Development Funding, which entered into force on 1 January 2023, will lead to a very significant increase in the State's R&D investments. These additional investments will require comprehensive development of the RDI system and effective allocation of funding.
The Parliamentary Working Group on Research, Development and Innovation identified key areas for development in the Finnish RDI system and assessed the state of research and development funding and how it is targeted. In the course of its work, the working group consulted with a broad range of interest groups and RDI experts. In addition to R&D funding, the policy outlines of the Parliamentary RDI Working Group are related to strengthening the management of the RDI system, increasing the availability of R&D expertise and labour force, advancing cooperation, making strategic choices at the national level, assessing the effectiveness of R&D funding and developing a favourable operating environment for research and innovation. In the 2022 working group's view, the development of the RDI system should continue to be based on the ten principles for developing the RDI system drawn up by the previous working group.
