The programme forms a part of our national profiling actions supported by the Research Council of Finland. The University has recently launched a new strategic research programme, SAFIRE, which brings together the faculties of natural sciences, humanities, and information technology and electrical engineering. SAFIRE’s focus is the production of scientifically excellent and actionable knowledge on habitat restoration, especially in the Arctic regions. SAFIRE aims to develop a transdisciplinary process of engaging and co-producing knowledge and solutions with societal actors, both at the level of individual projects, and at an institutional level within Oulu University. We define transdisciplinary as the inclusion of non-academic stakeholders in the process of knowledge production. SAFIRE will advance research and discussion concerning the multiple societal and environmental contributors to ecosystem restoration including interaction between human agents and nature, and will strengthen the collaborative role of the natural sciences, social sciences, and the humanities, and information technology and electrical engineering, in current political and scientific debates about the environment, especially but not limited to the Arctic. Through three linked tenure track appointments and significant investment in transdisciplinary collaboration with societal actors, SAFIRE will promote inter- and transdisciplinary and citizen-engaged studies of the environment and raise the University’s profile as an international leader in restoring inter-related social and ecological systems. SAFIRE is part of a wider Profi8 program at the University of Oulu, funded by the Research Council Finland, and it is co-led by the Faculties of Science and Humanities at the University of Oulu.
