The webinar series Implementing sustainability at universities has been admitted as part of the programme of the Year of Research-Based Knowledge 2021. That's good news, we feel honoured to be a part of Tutkitun tiedon teemavuosi 2021!

The year is a national project in Finland to gather actions and events into a programme that gives a comprehensive view of research-based knowledge and its role, for example, in the wellbeing of individuals and in the functioning of society.

Today there is a need for spreading research-based knowledge. During the year different Finnish organisations from associations to educational institutions and from research organisations to enterprises will offer research-based knowledge, and actions and events related to it, to everyone.

The webinar series is arranged by BUP Finland Åbo Akademi University and Baltic University Programme at Uppsala University. The next webinar is on 9 March, and the previous ones can be viewed on youtube. More information: https://bup.fi/implementing-sustainability-at-universities/

The Year of Research-Based Knowledge is a joint initiative organised by the Ministry of Education and Culture, the Academy of Finland and the Federation of Finnish Learned Societies.
