The Academic Self Defence event this spring will bring you information on salaries, issues with funding and work, and local changes at the University.
HUART’s Academic Self Defence event (27 April at 4 pm) aims to improve the readiness of researchers and teachers to understand current issues at the university and to enable them to better navigate the university’s systems of salary, contracts and funding.
The event will be held as a seminar in Kumpula (Exactum, room A114) and webinar on Zoom (https://helsinki.zoom.us/j/68243804777?pwd=a0xwM2JIcGJ5V3hBRFVWOVdQWG1wQT09).
You can comment on the topics and ask the presenters questions on Flinga: https://edu.flinga.fi/s/EYF8LF8
