TWIN CAMPUS project focuses on expanding the competitiveness of cooperating regions, by creating suitable conditions for the development of technology and knowledge-based companies, in cooperation with local universities and businesses. Project activities will form ways to encourage their modernization and internationalization as well as the commercialization of university-based technologies.
The results are turned into university-based pilot services for the companies and to create a strategy for the talent attraction to connect companies’ needs and individuals in the cooperating regions.

Korkeakoulu- ja tiedeyhteistyö venäläisten ja valkovenäläisten kumppaniorganisaatioiden kanssa on jäädytetty 4.3.2022 alkaen opetus- ja kulttuuriministeriön suosituksen mukaisesti. Meneillään olevia tutkimus- ja kehittämishankkeita jatketaan ilman venäläisiä ja valkovenäläisiä kumppaneita, ja toimintaa suunnataan tarvittaessa uudelleen.
Higher education and research cooperation with Russia has been freezed since March 4th 2002, according to the recommendation by Ministry of Education and Culture. Ongoing RDI projects can continue without partners from Russia or Belarus.

Good Practices in Universities: Business Cooperation, Entrepreneurial Support Services and Sustainable Development
Good Practices in Universities: Business Cooperation, Entrepreneurial Support Services and Sustainable Development
Which models of business cooperation, entrepreneurial support services and sustainable development operate in universities? To answer this question and investigate further, we benchmarched four Finnish universities: Haaga-Helia University of Applied Sciences, University of Helsinki, LUT University and South-Eastern Finland University of Applied Sciences (Xamk). This article series explores the good practices and operations models we discovered during the benchmarking process.

Selvitys yritysyhteistyön, yrittäjyyden tukipalveluiden ja kestävän kehityksen hyvistä käytänteistä korkeakouluissa
Mitkä yritysyhteistyön, yrittäjyyden tukipalveluiden ja kestävän kehityksen toimintamallit toimivat korkeakouluissa? Näitä asioita pyrimme selvittämään, kun benchmarkkasimme syksyllä 2020 kolme suomalaista korkeakoulua – Haaga-Helia-ammattikorkea koulun, Helsingin yliopiston ja LUT-yliopiston – sekä tarkastelimme tarkemmin Kaakkois-Suomen ammattikorkeakoulun, Xamkin, toimia. Tässä artikkelikokonaisuudessa avaamme benchmarkkauksissa nousseita hyviä käytänteitä ja toimintamalleja.
