2. The Year of Arts
This year, AYY is celebrating the Year of Arts! The aim of the Year of Arts is to highlight the creativity and artistic activities of the entire Student Union. Let’s welcome all the ARTS students to our shared Otaniemi campus with this theme!

The Year of Arts is not just a project for the Student Union’s Central Office, but also a theme that involves the sections and associations. The theme of the year is visible in the Student Union’s activities in many ways, but above all, AYY wants to encourage all associations working within its sphere of influence to take art into account and bring it out in their own activities. Art should look like its creator, so open your mind and experiment!

The Otaniemi Night of Arts is the highlight of the Year of Arts. It is a cross-artistic city festival, consisting of several events in the campus area. Content made by students form the essence of the event, and the target group is the Aalto community and Espoo. The Otaniemi Night of Arts will be held on Saturday, the 6th of October, and we hope that all associations operating within the Student Union will take part in it to organize high-quality events! Registration opens soon, so keep your eyes and ears open and start brainstorming ideas with your association!

If you have any questions related to the Year of Arts, please contact Tero Uuttana at tero.uuttana (a) ayy.fi.

3. GDPR – ways to collect, store and use personal information

Is your association still unclear on how to collect or store event sign-ups in accordance with the requirements of the new EU General Data Protection Regulation? How to make sure that only the people concerned can access the information?

We have collected various implementation methods at https://inside.ayy.fi/display/TIET/Tietosuoja (requires logging in with your Aalto University ID). The regulation will come into effect already in two weeks, on the 25th of May 2018!

4. Association events into the yearly calendar 2018-19

AYY and TOKYO are creating a design calendar for the year 2018-19 to celebrate the move of ARTS to Otaniemi. The design calendar is handed out free of charge to members, like the traditional AYY calendar. The calendar will contain a list of events organized by organizations associations operating within AYY’s sphere of influence.

Go and add your association’s upcoming events into the following Excel Online file: https://ayyfi.sharepoint.com/:x:/g/viestinta/EfOsbZ0GgGJPoPUEaVel0Z8BOxInnozQmq3uNDIXYcd0Mg?e=6ZtQR2 Add your event by the 27th of May 2018 to ensure that it will be on the list in the calendar!

1. Advance booking of AYY’s one-time rental facilities starts TODAY on the 4th of May 2018

The advance booking of AYY’s one-time rental facilities for associations starts on Thursday, the 4th of May 2018. Advance bookings are organized by using AYY’s own booking system TILA.

You can make advance bookings for the period Mon, 13th of August 2018–Sun, 6th of January 2019.

The schedule for facility reservations in the system is as follows:

  1. AYY’s internal operators, reservation period 19th April-4th May 2018.
    The reservation period ends on 4th May 2018 at 12:00 noon.
  2. Special status associations 4th May-17th May 2018.
    The reservation period starts on Fri, 4th May at 14:00 and ends on Thu, 17th May at 12:00 noon.

    The reservation period starts on Fri, 18th May at 12:00 noon and ends on Thu, 24th May 2018 at 12:00 noon.
    The booking session will be held in Otaniemi on Thu, 24th May 2018 from 16:30 onwards (the venue will be confirmed later).

A few notes about making reservations:

  • TILA can be found at https://tila.ayy.fi/. Users must log in to the system with their Aalto University IT username, using the same logging system as when using Into, for example. The easiest way to get started is to read the instructions behind the Instructions/Help link, found in the menu bar at the top of the page.
  • During advance booking, facilities are reserved under the name of the association. The activation key has been sent to the email address provided by the association (usually, this is the mailing list address of the association board) already in the spring, so the person who has handled the facility bookings of the association this year may distribute representation rights through TILA if necessary.
  • If you receive representation rights to a group, the message subject will be “TILA: Activation key for group GROUP NAME”. After this, the persons who have received the invitation can distribute representation rights to others through TILA.
  • Enter the name of the event in the reservation. If there is no name, the event may be deleted if there are several reservations for the same date at later stages of the booking session.
  • Please note that AYY’s internal reservations are mainly permanent.
  • Any reservations for anniversaries and anniversary herring brunches made by special status associations take priority over reservations made by other associations. Reservations made by special status associations will be confirmed when the corresponding reservation period ends. Overlapping reservations made by special status associations will be clarified in the first booking session.Special status associations do not have to come to defend their reservations to the second booking session.
  • Overlapping bookings can only be made within the reservation periods. After the end of the reservation period, associations can edit, delete or add new reservations that do not overlap with other reservations. Any duplicate reservations can be cancelled by using your own username at the advance booking session, so please bring your laptop in order to make the event run smoothly.
  • When making reservations for long periods of time, please bear in mind that you MUST come to the associations’ advance booking session to give grounds for the bookings made.  If needed, AYY will also contact the associations in advance.
  • Only reserve a facility for the time when you really need it. If possible, please avoid reservations in Smökki at the following times: PO has rehearsals at Smökki every Monday from 18:00 to 21:00, and RWBK has rehearsals at Smökki every Tuesday between 17:00 and 22:00. Please avoid reserving Smökki for sitsi parties on Mondays & Tuesdays.
  • The prices for internal operators and associations will stay the same as during the previous booking period. The price list can be found here: ayy.fi/en/price-list

Please note! There are some exceptions due to renovations:

  • Gorsu, Living Room, Multi-facility Hall and Tatami Hall cannot be booked starting from the 13th of August 2018.
  • OK20 upstairs cannot be booked starting from the 30th of November 2018.
  • The Rooftop Sauna, Game Room, Sitsi Kitchen and Takka Cabinet cannot be booked starting from the 10th of December 2018.

If your association is in need of last-minute consultation, we are arranging open appointments on the 7th and 8th of May at our central office in Finnish and in English. You can reserve your appointment here: https://inside.ayy.fi/display/TIET/General+Data+Protection (requires signing up with your Aalto University ID).

If you have any questions related to the GDPR, please contact AYY’s IT expert at petteri.nummela(a)ayy.fi.

 

 

5. The processing of operating grants has been delayed
The processing of associations’ operating grant applications has been delayed. We aim to score the applications in May, and the information on the grant decisions will be sent to associations as soon as possible. Operating grants can be paid once all the terms of the grant have been fulfilled and any missing appendices have been sent to jarjestoasiat(a)ayy.fi.

After the grants have been paid, post-announcement opens for associations that have not yet submitted their association notice. Associations can no longer apply for operating grants at this point. If an association fails to submit an association notice in the allocated time for the second year in a row, the association can be removed from the Student Union’s association register. The schedule for the post-announcement will be announced later in the association newsletter.

1. Data protection is for everyone – web seminar on Thursday 19th of April

If your association’s actives missed the GDPR training organized by AYY last Monday, Tekniikan Akateemiset TEK, Suomen Ekonomit and legal service provider Fondia are providing a “Data protection concerns everyone” web seminar on the subject on Thursday 19th of April from 10:00 to 11:00 (in Finnish).

The web seminar looks at the most central legal questions on data protection. In addition, the data protection legislation update for the European Union will be discussed, along with the changes is brings, especially the strict sanctions and how to avoid them. The legal restrictions concerning personal data encompass the entirety of the lifespan of personal data from planning of data management to updating it and until the end of the retention period of data.

More information and signups (in Finnish): https://www.fondia.fi/tietosuoja-kuuluu-kaikille-0

N.B! The training is no doubt useful, but it is mainly aimed at companies with staff and customers (not specifically towards associations), which have personal data registers. Take note of this when signing up.

2. The GDPR sample documents on AYY’s website

Starting from May all organizations handling personal information must comply by the new EU regulation on Data Protection (the GDPR, General Data Protection Regulation).

An important thing to consider is that in about a month, on the 25th of May, each association should have the required documents on data protection and other issues in order with the regulation requirements. More information in doing this can be found here: /en/associations/services/training-and-courses/get-your-gdpr-requirements-in-order/

We are building a more comprehensive guide on GDPR aimed towards associations, along with sample documents with commentary. We will send them as soon as they are ready. If you have any questions on GDPR, you can contact the AYY ICT specialist Petteri Nummela at petteri.nummela(at)ayy.fi.
