International networking at the top of Europe

Today, networking between individuals and organizations more often takes place digitally. For small firms it is a good way to expand the partnerships and to find new customers. My wish is that also in future, Lapland UAS, together with partners, will look to the future and support cross-border projects and educational programmes where the young generation learns about the opportunities of the European Arctic.

Culture Bumb to make students feel home in Lapland

International students often do not seem to be given the chance to actually get acquainted with local Finnish people, as they instead opt to interact and experience local sights with other non-native students in the end. The Culture Bump initiative is to make planners and participants from different countries and cultures interact with one another.

Erasmus goes green

Erasmus Goes Green -project finda solutions to reduce the transport-related carbon footprint of higher education students and staff taking part in Erasmus mobility. When it comes to Finland, Lapland and carbon footprint, we cannot change our remote geographical location in Europe. What we can do, however, is to provide exchange students a country with a well working public transportation system.

The roles of game- and graphic design in creating digital solutions for mining industry

Field practice is perhaps the most efficient way for practical learning, but even in practical fields, theory and know-how concepts are relevant part of the education. In the Migael-project we have tackled on this issue from both perspectives, by creating gamified practices for both hands-on-training and teaching theoretical concepts.

Järjestelmät monimutkaistuvat jatkuvasti – turvallisuusajattelun historia ja tulevaisuus kohtaavat nyt

Lineaarinen ajattelu istuu tiukassa nykyajan turvallisuusajattelussa ja muodostaa edelleen perustan turvallisuushallinnolle ja onnettomuustutkinnalle. Dynaaminen, ei-lineaarinen ajattelu sen sijaan lähestyy turvallisuutta kompleksisissa järjestelmissä totutusta monin osin päinvastaisella tavalla.
