1. Amendments to AYY’s association regulation:
The association regulation updated in the Representative Council meeting on 17 Sept is now available in three languages at https://inside.ayy.fi/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=12615842.
The Representative Council amended Section 8 of the regulation in terms of the obligations of the first list associations in case an association is dismissed or discontinued. The amendment does not require rule amendments from the associations in the first list. Nevertheless, we contacted the associations in the first list in the spring and mentioned that the association meeting has to decide on the transfer of funds if the association is dismissed or discontinued. All of these associations must change their rules before the next allocation of operating grants to correspond with the obligations of the association regulation. Sample rules mainly intended for new associations will be updated in the coming weeks.

3. Storage space available for associations
Allocation practices of facilities rented permanently for associations were updated for the first time in early 2014. In the future, vacant/soon to be vacant facilities will be announced in the association newsletter, after which associations can apply for the facilities. Facilities are allocated for the associations with the help of the scoring model for rented facilities.
Now it is time to apply for vacant facilities. This time, we only have storage space available. You can apply for the storage space with the electronic application form: https://lomake.ayy.fi/hallinto/storage-facilities-application-form/
The available facilities and their floor areas can be reviewed when filling in the application form.
The application schedule is as follows:
The application form is open on Fri, 9 Oct, 12midnight–Fri, 23 Oct, 3pm.
AYY’s Facility Committee will address the received applications in week 44-45. AYY Board will decide on the allocation of facilities for associations based on the proposal of the Facility Committee in week 46.
After the decision, we aim to sign agreements for facilities as soon as possible. Rental agreements are valid until further notice, unless otherwise agreed.
NB! Only applications using the above-mentioned forms are taken into account. Previously sent facility request emails or late applications will not be taken into account.

4. AYY’s development cooperation week
During AYY’s development cooperation week, global affairs take over the campus in the last week of October.
Why do we engage in development cooperation? How can technology improve the world? What kind of projects does the university have in the developing countries? How about a career as a healer of the world? The development cooperation week is part of the annual theme week funded by the Ministry for Foreign Affairs, which brings global development issues among students. AYY’s week on 26 Oct-30 Oct 2015 includes theme workshops, problem solving, international fairs, inspiring lectures, international speakers – not forgetting languages, cultures and culinary delights of the world.
Join the development cooperation week and see the world with new eyes! Like the week on Facebook and check out the entire programme on AYY’s website.
