Finland’s centre of expertise for water and the environment

Finnish Environment Institute (Syke) provides trusted knowledge and practical solutions for sustainable water management in Finland and worldwide. Our expertise spans hydrology, water quality, aquatic biodiversity, groundwater, catchment planning, water restoration, and climate adaptation. We combine long-term monitoring, modelling, remote sensing and forecasting to support sound decisions, resilient communities, and healthier waters.

In international projects, we develop monitoring systems and laboratory capacity, deliver tailored models and decision-support tools, and train experts and institutions. By strengthening local knowledge and capacity, we help build water services that remain resilient long after the project ends.
