Aalto University is revising its language policy and guidelines, and now the Aalto community is invited to comment on the drafts. 

The aim of the language guidelines is to support Aalto in our mission as part of the global scientific and artistic community as well as in its national mission to promote Finland’s success through positive impact on Finnish society and its internationalisation. The aim is also to support our community’s multilingualism and multiculturalism and to promote the participation and equality of the community’s members and to ensure that the Aalto community follows the relating legislation.

Below is a link to the news on aalto.fi and the discussion area. Remember to log in! Discussion will be open until 31 August after which the guidelines will be finalised.
