Ammattikorkeakoulujen avoin TKI-toiminta, oppiminen ja innovaatioekosysteemi

The project develops open research, development and innovation (RDI) and open learning models at Finnish Universities of Applied Sciences (UAS). RDI activities are practice-oriented, based on the needs of working life, focused on problem solving, and have a strong regional impact. RDI work typically takes place in close cooperation with customers, generating new knowledge, competence, products and services. Student involvement in RDI projects is vital to their studies with the objective of becoming acknowledged experts in their fields. RDI is one of the mandated tasks of UAS in Finland based on the UAS act. According to the targets of the Ministry of Education and Culture of Finland, UAS are committed to promoting open RDI practices. The project has been co-funded by the Ministry and all the Finnish UAS are committed to it.
