| General
The foundation was established
based on the will of Georg Ehrnrooth, honorary mining counsellor,
dated 7 May 1995 and the charter of foundation by Ella Ehrnrooth,
the wife of the former, dated 26 October 1935. The basic capital
of the foundation consists of the assets bequeathed and donated
by the Ehnrooths for this purpose, which have accumulated
since then. The foundation is entitled to receive donations
and bequests.
Purpose
The purpose of the
foundation is to promote scientific research and literary
activities. The foundation carries out this purpose by giving
out grants and contributions to scientists and people operating
in the literary field and by supporting scientific institutes
and institutions. Grants are
mainly given to Finnish citizens or institutes and institutions
operating in Finland, and decisions are based on proposals
presented to the board of trustees or applications addressed
to it. The board of trustees may ask statements from experts
for distributing a grant.
Grounds for granting
The Ella and Georg Ehrnrooth
Foundation primarily distributes grants for postdoctoral
scientific research work of younger scholars with
a doctor’s degree provided that the recipient of the
grant is at least partially on leave of absence. The grant
may also be given for completing the doctoral thesis (however, not in medicine or the so-called exact sciences)
in which case a written recommendation from the instructor
is desirable. Grants are not given in the fields covered by
the Magnus
Ehrnrooth foundation; that is, mathematics, astronomy,
physics and chemistry (incl. biochemistry and medical chemistry).
The grant period may also be 2 to 3 years. Grants are not
given for acquisition of equipment, printing expenses or mere
congress trips.

Leave of absence (at least partial) is required
for the research period
