Advisory boards
Several advisory boards operate within TAMK’s faculties. The advisory boards are a key cooperation structure between working life and the university of applied sciences. They strengthen the labour market relevance of education, support the development of RDI activities, and promote TAMK’s impactful and responsible operations.
The advisory boards bring together a diverse range of representatives from working life, alumni, students and staff. Their role is to provide foresight, build partnerships and initiate new approaches to support the development of the competence units.
