Universities outside Finland can apply for financial support from the Finnish National Agency for Education (EDUFI) to acquire Finnish study material and subscribe to magazines to support their teaching of Finnish language and culture.

Due to the Russian invasion of the Ukraine, Russian and Belarusian universities cannot apply for support for study materials and magazines for the time being.

The study material can include, for example, Finnish language study books with accompanying resource materials, Finnish literature, books on linguistics or literary science or games designed for language learning. In general, support is only given for materials that are in Finnish and published in Finland, unless there is a good reason regarding the teaching to use other materials.

Study materials and magazines will be donated to the university, not personally to teachers nor students.
