Responsible communication
We will communicate in a responsible and transparent manner. We will encourage the members of our university community to communicate and participate in public discussions in their own networks.
We all influence the image of Metropolia through encounters and our actions. At the core of its brand, Metropolia is a university of solution-creators. Whether tackling the efficiency of our daily lives or the fight against climate change, we need fresh thinking, new ideas and innovation, and courageous experimentation. At Metropolia, we want to provide a platform for all this. Our brand is part of our daily work.
Cooperation and partnership
We work with national and international partners including both businesses and individuals. Our cooperation takes many forms: ecosystem partnerships, bilateral partnerships, platforms, and networks. We also have contract partners from whom we purchase services on our campuses.
In international cooperation, we aim to ensure that our partnerships are equal and beneficial to all parties. In our cooperation, we comply with the recommendations of the Ministry of Education and Culture regarding country-specific restrictions on cooperation.
We only engage in cooperation with operators that act lawfully and whose values and ethical principles are based on the same principles as ours.
