1. AYY’s training for associations in February
AYY’s training for associations will be organised on Monday, 21 Feb, in Otaniemi and Tuesday, 22 Feb, in Töölö from 4pm onwards. The association training provides the associations with important and current information as well as generally useful information on the running of an association. The training includes information on the application of the operational grant and other grants, legal issues related to associations, internationality and AYY’s services for the associations.
Further information on the training and more detailed information on its contents will be added later to AYY.fi and the association newsletters.
2. Amendment notices to the National Board of Patents and Registration of Finland
The turn of the year is a period of changes for many associations and organisations. It is good to remember that the National Board of Patents and Registration of Finland (PRH) is also interested in certain official changes taking place in your organisation. An amendment notice has to be filed to the association register of PRH when:
- the rules of the registered association change
- the person authorised to sign for the association changes (when the chairperson changes)
- the address of the association changes
- the rules of the association are amended
The association members can make a proposal for the board to change the association rules or the board itself can detect the need for change.
The amendment notice can be submitted as an electronic notice or, alternatively, you can download the notification forms to your own computer to be filled. Further information and forms are available on PRH website at http://www.prh.fi/fi/yhdistysrekisteri/yhdistys_muutosten_rekisteroiminen.html.
3. Rental of AYY’s van
Many of you have been asking more specific information on the rental of AYY’s van, so here is some additional information. The employees of Otaniemi service point, especially Tuula Ilmes, can provide more information on the van rental. You can check the booking situation from the booking excel at AYY.fi but the excel is updated with delay. For the most reliable information, please call directly to Otaniemi service point number 050 520 9400.
4. AYY’s website and the association profile
AYY opened its new website at the beginning of 2011. Just like on the old website, we have reserved space for the associations under AYY to create their own profiles on the new website. Also, the purpose is that each association will announce their own events through the event calendar on AYY.fi. When allocating the operational grants this year, it is AYY’s condition that the association profile has been added to AYY.fi.
If you need support with matters relating to websites and user names, you may contact Communications Specialist Joonas (joonas.jylha@ayy.fi, 050 520 9442).
