We welcomed Dr. Oili Kohonen from University of Eastern Finland (UEF). She was here as part of a staff exchange program. Dr. Kohonen stayed at TUT from May 27th to June 28th and we shared many experiences. TUT and UEF have had an academic exchange agreement since 2002, and in 2019, a double degree program for Master's started.

As part of her visit this year, Dr. Kohonen welcomed the first incoming double degree program students from UEF. TUT staff and Dr. Kohonen also discussed the possibilities for an exchange project between TUT and UEF. Dr. Kohonen held a seminar about UEF for TUT staff and it was a great opportunity to get to know each other.

In addition to TUT's exchange student/teacher program with our main partner universities overseas, the staff exchange program with UEF realizes one of the TUT's Top Global University Project's goal, "Multicultural･Global Campus"
