More information about the agreement kit
This thesis agreement package has been prepared in the Ministry of Education and Culture (OKM) funded Open RDI Activities, Learning and Innovation Ecosystem project for Universities of Applied Sciences.
The package has been prepared by a working group: lawyer Liisa Sippel, Turku UAS, lawyer Annamari Turunen, University of Eastern Finland/Savonia UAS/Karelia UAS and lawyer Päivi Ervast, Lapland UAS. The document templates in the package have been widely reviewed across the universities of applied sciences network. The working group has processed the feedback received from the network and revised the document templates based on that feedback.
At Laurea, a working group prepared the adoption of the agreement kit in 2020, 2021 and 2022.
