My experience as a woman<br />
researcher in Finland<br />
• Easy to combine research & family life due to good<br />
public day-care system, husband’s support and<br />
understanding boss<br />
• Flexible hours possible or working from home when<br />
child is sick<br />
• Typically, some work during weekends and holidays<br />
also needed.<br />
• Maternity leaves introduce significant delays in the<br />
research work -> need to consider this aspect in your<br />
family planning<br />
=>Positive personal experience with Finnish system
