Project grant: TFK 2026, Team Finland Knowledge programme

The purpose of the Team Finland Knowledge programme is to create and strengthen cooperation between Finnish higher education institutions and the target regions and countries selected to the TFK network, and to design new operating models for cooperation. The programme funds educational cooperation between higher education institutions through cooperation and mobility projects. 

In 2026, the TFK programme finances cooperation with Southern Africa, Latin America, Southeast Asia, India and China. Projects funded in the Call 2024 and Call 2025 cannot be funded in the Call 2026. A higher education institution can submit as many applications as it wants in the application round, but a maximum of two projects from the same HEI can be funded for cooperation with one target country or region. The duration of the funded projects is 1 August 2026 – 31 December 2028. The maximum support a single project can receive is €80,000.
