The Association of Researchers at Åbo Akademi University (FfÅA) is a local trade union branch that is part of the Finnish Association of Researchers and thus Akava. The working language is Swedish. The association has approximately 300 members, researchers and teachers at Åbo Akademi University.
The association monitors the common interests of its members in matters relating to scientific education, working conditions and economics by maintaining contact with the employer and within various cooperation bodies. It conducts investigations, presents proposals and initiatives, negotiates, issues statements and carries out information activities.
The association is run on a voluntary basis. We have no employees in Turku, but the Finnish Association of University Researchers and Teachers’ Office in Helsinki has staff with special expertise.
