start to the year: Finland founded discuss the Aalto University In this blog tens of times mentioned: The first January 2010, the University of Helsinki
Aalto operational. The Aalto University is formed through the merger of
Helsinki University of Technology (TKK) , Graduate School of
(HSE) and the College of Art and Design Helsinki (Taik) . The three institutions exist as "schools" and are further supplemented by interdisciplinary "factories" and research groups. The University, designed as a "Finnish University of innovation," bears the name of the architect (and Universal artist)
Alvar Aalto .
The goal is to bring together three of the best universities in Finland and to establish by 2020 a world-leading research and teaching university.
To kick off the spring semester, the Finnish Aalto University invited ZRU opening ceremony at the Finlandia Hall. Greetings, choirs, dance performances and even a Second Life presence vying for representations of modernity. Despite the presence of the President, Tarja Halonen, Prime Minister, Matti Vanhanen, and members of the society, government and military elite of Finland, remained almost normally celebrated traditionality the uniforms of the fraternity and a hearty "Gaudeamus Igitur" the invasion of the dignitaries reserved. The entire ceremony should freshness, modernity and internationality show (read Anglo-Saxon orientation): Student Moderators, renunciation of national symbolism and English greetings (interrupted only by Finnish and Swedish comments) do a great step towards a "global competitive Finland" convince (Tarja Halonen).
the greetings of the President of the Republic and the Prime Minister give a vivid picture of the elite discourse in a Nordic welfare state, which is one and a half feet on the innovation-driven global West.
Tarja Halonen is a contemporary center-left politician. The lawyer made her first steps in the powerful Student Union of Helsinki University and served as a member of the City Council in Helsinki. On one side they come from the traditional working class district of Kallio, on the other they earned their spurs among others in the movement for the rights of gays and lesbians. The Social Democrat Tarja Halonen takes the melody of Aalto's founding, and emphasizes the challenges and demands, new forms of cooperation and communication between the Aalto University and the society and economy to find. Aalto, as a public foundation
University, has more freedom than traditional public corporations and a huge budget for Finnish conditions. Both start-up capital for Finland's entry into the global competitiveness. As far as the compulsory portion. However, their emphasis is on the Finnish pride in a long tradition as a nation, education and the welfare state. High quality of teaching and research go hand in hand with equal access to education and training, regardless of social backgrounds and faiths, beliefs and sexual identity. Tarja Halonen is taking the discussion about the great influence of the private sector
the board of the Aalto University. Despite the importance of connecting the university and the needs of technology and operations, it is reminiscent of the service function of capital:
"Money is a good servant but a bad master"
- Tarja Halonen, 8 January 2010
The Finnish president sees education as a tool (in the social democratic sense), can cope with people their own lives. The international orientation of the Aalto University shall be to create an environment for Researchers and students from around the world create, on the other contribute to the Finnish Bemügungen
the Millennium Goals of the United Nations afford. By 2020, the expectation is to bring the Aalto University of Helsinki at the top.
Matti Vanhanen , Prime Minister and outgoing Chairman of the Centre Party is guided by other scruples. The Eurosceptic center-right politician is studied political science and a trained journalist. Matti Vanhanen is valid within the Centre Party as a liberal and pushed through large tax cuts and reform of the Nordic welfare state. Vanhanen begrudge at least the tradition of the three founding institutions Aalto University of introductory words in Finnish. Important to him, however, is in English, the position of Finnish companies in international comparison. 40% of Finland's total output as exports abroad. Finnish companies, led by Nokia, come from as global corporations. Therefore, according to Vanhanen, the country's universities to the needs of global companies are aligned. The Aalto University is the one of Finland's answer to globalization. Second, a core component of the reform of the national innovation system. Matti Vanhanen, Finland can no longer see the "upper right corner of the map" but a "global" view, a center of the (technological and economic world), what is the location of the
units of the EIT (European Institute of Technology) at the Aalto University only underscored. The Aalto University of Helsinki is not part of a national development plan, but an element of a global regionalization. Specifically, the prime minister during the slaughter of a sacred cow of the social democratic welfare ideal: As soon as possible to education and study in Finnish universities are a "product" that will be sold to prospective students outside the European Union. After the "New University Act" of 2009 laid the foundations for this, Matti Vanhanen hopes to quickly implement the commercialization of the study and continuing education offerings.

. The Finnlandschwedin is biotechnologist and teaches with an emphasis on molecular genetics in Helsinki and Stockholm. It is both a member of the Finland Swedish Academy of Sciences and the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. Tuula Teeri sees the Aalto University to a new face with a form of freedom and the responsibility to reach world standards. The Finnish Sisu
resource here is that identity-giving Finnish property of endurance and perseverance. Sisu has the Finns through war, industrialization and brought many long winter, it will now bring forward Aalto.
The mission of the Aalto University provides Teeri in the training of experts to be visionaries. Three major reforms to implement the new university to achieve this goal. Internationally attractive working conditions for students and researchers should be created. Creative and prerequisite-free basic research should be the foundation of the university. Tuula Teeri here emphasizes the development of art, which she regards as fundamental research for design and architecture. The most important reform in the Aalto foundation, the introduction of the "tenure track" based on international standards. The attractiveness of the Aalto University as a workplace is to be secured by secured for the next ten years 20 to 40 new permanent jobs in teaching and research. Appropriate management and leadership responsibility should be trained and rewarded.
needed as a small country of Finland a focus on those areas that already have achieved a leadership role. The two most successful units of the Aalto University are applied physics and computer science. 17 other units of the universities have been evaluated as a high international standard and are the priorities of the development strategy. For a great university, has received international attention and recognition for Tuula Teeri essential. The settlement of one of the units of the European Institute of Technology (EIT) at the Aalto University and the declaration of Helsinki Design Capital for 2012, their expression in international confidence in the development of Aalto University.
Teeri wants to open the University to the outside and open learning centers, integrated services for professionals and businesses and personalities of the integration of business and civil society in the teaching of the Aalto University in the Finnish society. Key partners within the university are its students: It sees learning as research. Specifically, even require, students to members of the research community at the Aalto to university. As, at best, even ironic, bow, addressed towards the students as they Tuula Teeri Second Life avatar on the Internet and on the big screen. It promises a lot. The lesson to be expanded and more lecturers are employed. Services to the teaching should be just as rewarding as contributions to the research. Distance learning and teaching project at the national and international level with partner universities to be established. The student body should be represented in the entire high school hierarchy of Aalto University and active and the leadership of the university are involved. The purpose of the interdisciplinary Master's programs and the interdisciplinary program, the Bacherlor Prerequisite for training created by visionaries. In the ultra-modern digital space, establishing a society founded on belief in progress University, Aalto-President declared the Alma Mater Studiorum.
many, many empty words have fallen. The apparent target, the entire vocabulary of the contemporary academic debate on the use Aalto University. Also Jussi Valtonen, president of the student body, and Yrjö Sotamaa, initiator of the founding of the Aalto University and former president of the University of Art and Design Helsinki will remain on the tone of the ceremony.
The ceremony is the procession of the Museum of Finlandia of Contemporary Art Kiasma, the procession to the reception for the dignitaries, the debate about the Aalto University and the strategic direction of higher education continues.
it just rains for days - if it does not work out as we imagine it, we react with anger, Anger or disappointment. The paradox of resist: It changes nothing - except that we are worse off (sometimes even days later). Tip: Whenever you notice any nascent opposition to something, you give up this and take the situation at . You will be amazed to notice how the conscious decision changed everything for another assessment. Serene people think 
surf he can not harm you if you are on top. And for surfers you think somehow of fun and lightness. The secret is to change perspectives and see the blessing in disguise. Crisis as an opportunity. Use the search (unpleasant) situation to your advantage, eg job loss, an activity that still fits you better.
