The 2023 Research Council of Finland Award is presented to Timo Miettinen, an Academy Research Fellow at the Centre for European Studies of the University of Helsinki. Miettinen explores the ideas and ideologies that underlie contemporary Europe, especially from the perspective of politics and societal thinking.
He combines research in philosophy, politics and history in an exceptionally creative way. His research has influenced the debate on political phenomena and brought new perspectives to the understanding of European economic policy, for instance.
“I’m fascinated by understanding and analysing the present day. We gain analytical tools for understanding contemporary Europe and the EU by looking at when different ideas were born and what kind of thought patterns and prejudices they carry with them,” Miettinen says.
