I am an adult educator and a researcher in the School of Educational Sciences and Psychology, with a focus on adult learning, creativity, and well-being. In my research, I explore individual and group learning and creativity in various workplace contexts. I am currently leading the research project funded by the Academy of Finland, focusing on employee-driven innovations. The aim is to generate knowledge about the connections, prerequisites, and consequences of learning and innovation processes in different industries.
I also lead the Continuous Learning in the Working life (JATKOT) research group, which investigates continuous learning and adult competence in Finnish private and public sector organizations.
I follow with interest the societal discourse on continuous learning and adult competence. Through national and international networks, I aim to share research-based insights on my themes in an accessible manner for the benefit of organizations and society.
