Yrjö Jahnsson Foundation
The Yrjö Jahnsson Foundation was established in 1954 by Mrs. Hilma Jahnsson, who provided the original capital by donating funds acquired with her husband Yrjö Jahnsson, a professor of economics.
The purpose of the foundation is to promote Finnish research in economics and medicine, and to maintain and support Finnish educational and research facilities. It also supports Finnish research in medical economics, overlapping with both the aforementioned fields.To implement these goals the foundation gives out grants for research and postgraduate studies. It also organises and supports lectures and seminars. All lectures and talks given at events organised by the foundation are published and made available for Finnish researchers.
