The application period for AYY’s operating grants and the submitting of association notices has ended. During the past two weeks, the organisational sector reviewed all applications. Based on the proposals of the organisational sector, the Board will make decisions on the grants during the next week. After this, associations will be notified about the results of the grant applications.
If you still have any questions or unclarities concerning the application process, please contact the organisational sector by e-mail at jarjestoasiat@ayy.fi.

At its meeting 12/2012, the Board has revised the price list of AYY’s one-time rental premises. The updated prices are available on AYY’s website. The prices remain otherwise unchanged, but Servin Mökki rent for associations rose to 60 euro. At the same time, the different pricing for members and associations was discontinued. Rental price for Servin Mökki kitchen was set at 60 euro. The changes will enter into force on 1 Apr 2012. For further information, please contact the organisational sector at jarjestoasiat@ayy.fi.
3. STUDENT UNION MEMBER: RESPOND TO AYY’S VISIBILITY SURVEY AND WIN A GIFT CERTIFICATE TO TIKETTI
Dear student union member: AYY wants to identify what kind of views and images Aalto University students have about the student union, its activities as well as its role in the academic community. We are looking for a respondent’s personal views, so there are no correct answers. All responses will be treated confidentially and it is not possible to identify an individual respondent’s answers. Based on the responses, we will create a communications strategy for AYY, so your response is very valuable!
The survey is open between 2 Apr–2 May and it takes a few minutes to respond to the survey. Among all respondents, we will raffle one gift certificate of 200 euro and two gift certificates of 50 euro to Tiketti. Participation in the draw requires submitting your contact details at the end of the survey. For further information on the survey, please contact AYY’s Organisation Joonas Jylhä (joonas.jylha@ayy.fi).
The survey is available at: https://lomake.ayy.fi/viestinta/tunnettuuskysely/
