What is going on in Higher Education Research in Finland? What is beingWhat is going on in Higher Education Research in Finland? What is being researched right now? What might the tertiary education look like in 10

years? What are, and could be, the emerging research questions and methodologies of today and tomorrow?

 

For this volume, we will be exploring the current and the future of the Finnish higher education and research on it. To be able to target the future of the field, we are asking the doctoral students doing their research on higher education in Finland to present their empirical findings, theoretical concerns and carefully argumented ideas for the wider audience, in a form of an academic article.

The recommended length of the article is 15-20 pages (max. 5000 words), and the manuscripts should be delivered to the editors of the yearbook by 15 October 2015. The tentative publication date of the yearbook is in June 2016.

The next FinEd Newsletter will be published in May-June, 2015.  If you have something that you wish to be communicated to the FinEd members, please inform the coordinator.
