Being a member of the JYU community doesn’t just make you a part of Jyväskylä. Frankly, it doesn’t even limit you to just Finland, or even the Nordics!

In the newest episode of the JYU for YOU podcast, our host Irfan sits down with Project Manager Sanna Väisänen who tells us more about the FORTHEM Alliance – the network of European Universities working in close collaboration with JYU on improving educational outcomes in nine different countries!

Want to improve your French during an intense week of classes in Dijon? Found a researcher in Valencia who is working on the same topic you are? Looking for a way to enter the German job market? Excited to talk about your PhD with fellow early-stage researchers? Think that JYY has something to offer to our friends all around Europe? Want to develop professional skills through international collaboration?

These are just some of the things that the FORTHEM Alliance can enable you to do! If you want to know what else the FORTHEM Alliance has to offer, and how JYU got involved with this academic family in the first place, then this week’s episode is definitely FOR YOU!
