In honor of its anniversary, the Foundation of the Finnish Institute in the Middle East collected donations for the anniversary scholarship. The scholarship is awarded to a master’s student for research of the Middle East. Scholarship funds were collected at the end of 2024 both through a lottery and direct donations. All in all, the collection generated €2136, which will be used for the anniversary scholarship. Many thanks to all donors!
