The University of Eastern Finland – a healthy and safe working and studying environment characterised by well-being.
At the University of Eastern Finland, safety and security refer to a state where known risks are managed and mitigated, and where members of the academic community can work and study without fear or concern.
The university’s safety and security is the result of collaboration involving several actors. The coordination responsibility lies with the university. In matters related to safety and security, the university engages in close collaboration with local authorities and other educational institutions.
