Why not? At the <a href="https://www.helsinki.fi" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">University of Helsinki&nbsp; <svg class="svg-inline--fa fas fa-up-right-from-square fa-2xs" fill="currentColor" aria-hidden="true" role="img" viewBox="0 0 512 512" overflow="visible"><use href="#fas-up-right-from-square"></use></svg></a> , there are quite a few professors from German-speaking countries. Increasing the proportion of foreign researchers is an explicit goal of all Finnish universities. As far as the quality of academic research is concerned, Finland ranks in the middle of the pack in Europe. Only one of Finland’s 10 universities ranks among the world’s top 100: the University of Helsinki (74th in the <a href="http://www.shanghairanking.com/ARWU2020.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">2020 Shanghai Ranking&nbsp; <svg class="svg-inline--fa fas fa-up-right-from-square fa-2xs" fill="currentColor" aria-hidden="true" role="img" viewBox="0 0 512 512" overflow="visible"><use href="#fas-up-right-from-square"></use></svg></a> ). In contrast, four German universities make it onto the list, which is otherwise dominated by Anglo-American institutions (Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, Technical University of Munich, Heidelberg University, and the University of Bonn, ranked 51st, 54th, 57th, and 87th, respectively). It should be noted, however, that these rankings represent an average across all of a university’s research fields.</p>
