Research

Scientific research is the core of FIOH’s activities. Research and development work generates new knowledge that can be applied to improve working conditions, to promote workers’ health and work ability, to ensure the smooth functioning of working communities, and to enhance well-being.

Most of the research done by FIOH is applied research. The results can be rather quickly put in to practice in Finnish working life. Some of the research aims at more long-range results, seeking, disease mechanisms and determining the theoretical basis for phenomena for instance.

FIOH’s research activities are multidisciplinary and broad in scope. 40% of the working hours is allocated for research.
