Questions and Answers

Question: Does the Transformation Organisation have plans to publicise their plans? I'd like to read e.g. on the web reports by the theme areas and other conrete information about their work. I'd also be interested in a discussion forum on the web where you could follow up the preparations and, when necessary, take part in the discussion(s).

Answer: We are in the process of creaating a wiki-based platform for the Aalto personnel and students which will be opened at the end of November, in Finnish at this stage. There will be a possibility to comment news, and the theme areas can publicise their material. Lotta Knuutinen on behalf of Aalto communications
