Advisory boards
We impact across the world of work.
Our strategy is designed to improve working life, well-being and competitiveness in Southwest Finland. The University’s Board and the Rector and President guide the development of Turku UAS to achieve this goal.
The Regional Advisory Council is an independent forum of experts that contributes to the development of our regional effectiveness with the support of the Board and the Rector. Field-specific dialogue with the businesses takes place through the faculties own advisory boards.
Our impact is built in networks. The work of the advisory boards strengthens our active interaction with the businesses of the region.
