My main duties are related to Young Universities for the Future of Europe (YUFE) Alliance, which makes it possible to study and develop one’s skills physically and online in 10 universities around Europe. I lead YUFE’s work package on Lifelong learning and support the other multilevel development work related to YUFE in our own university. I am also happy to discuss about the opportunities provided by YUFE with different groups.
Additionally, I enhance the internationalization of studies of our Finnish students, and the integration of our international students by regional, national and international network cooperation.
