Work can take place across seven faculties: information technology and communication sciences, management and business, education and culture, medicine and health technology, built environment, engineering and natural sciences, and social sciences.

Alongside academic work, the award promotes international understanding and U.S.–Finland relationships. Scholars may be asked to give public talks, mentor students, and engage with the host community.
