Hanken Signs Cooperation Agreement with Fulbright Center
The agreement provides prominent American Scholars the opportunity to lecture and conduct research during a visit at Hanken. During the stay, the scholar will also contribute in disseminating Hanken’s research and knowledge within the business community and society.
”For Hanken this agreement means yet another way of strengthening our international profile, especially among researchers and universities in the USA. Our networks will be broadened in the USA, opening up the possibility for development ideas”, says Hanken’s Rector Eva Liljeblom.
The agreement, issued for a period of three years, was signed 12 March 2015 by Hanken’s Rector Eva Liljeblom, and on Fulbright Centers behalf by Executive Director Terhi Mölsä and Matti Kokkala, Chair of the Fulbright Center Board of Directors, and Senior Adviser at Smart Cities at VTT.
“The agreement with Hanken strengthens Finland’s profile also internationally. The Fulbright-programme is operative in over 150 countries. Yet, there are only 40 Fulbright Distinguished Chairs professorships”, states Chair Matti Kokkala. Fulbright Center has similar agreements with the Nokia Foundation, Aalto University, and the University of Helsinki.
Fulbright Center is a service organisation that specialises in academic exchange between Finland and North America. The main goal is to support the internationalisation of Finnish universities and research.
