1. AYY’S OPERATING GRANTS 2012

The application for AYY’s operating grant and the submitting of the association notice is ongoing. The application period is 1 March–1 April. Operating grants are open to all associations approved in AYY’s first register. Associations in the second register only fill out the association notice.

The application form is available at https://lomake.ayy.fi/yhdistykset/ayyn-toiminta-avustushakemus/ (form in English coming soon). Further information on the application is available from the Student Union’s organisational sector by email at

jarjestoasiat@ayy.fi. You can also find answers at /en/associations/grants-for-associations/, which has concise information on the operating grant and the scoring model used in the allocation of the grants.

2.  IS YOUR ASSOCIATION’S AYY.FI PROFILE UP TO DATE?

One of the conditions to receive the operating grant in 2012 is to have an updated association profile at ayy.fi. It is advisable to check the situation of your profile immediately. If your association does not have the profile, you should order it before the end of the application period of the operating grant on 1 April 2012. The ayy.fi username needed for the profile can be ordered at webmaster@ayy.fi. Please include your contact information and the association name with the order. Since the association members often change annually, it is recommended that usernames are sent directly to the general e-mail address of the association (such as info@yhdistys.fi) so that they are forwarded to new members.

Association profiles should be trilingual. Translations may be ordered through AYY from Joonas Jylhä (joonas.jylha@ayy.fi).

3. AYY AND DESIGN COMPANY COSTO ARE PLANNING COOPERATION

AYY and the design company Costo are planning cooperation which aims to strengthen students’ interdisciplinary communality through the University and/or Student Union-wide coherent product/collection. For this purpose, we want to survey our members to get feedback on whether such cooperation is interesting – and, above all, what kind of products Aalto students are interested in!

It takes approximately 2-3 minutes to complete the survey which is available at https://lomake.ayy.fi/yrityssuhteet/ayy-costo-partnership/

Please fill out the survey and tell your friends about it!
