Submissions for association notices and operating grant applications are now open, and the submission period will end on March 29th, at 12:00 noon. Please start in time and work on the application little by little, as the process takes some time.

All associations within AYY must fill out a yearly association notice. Failing to fill out the notice for two consecutive years or submitting an association notice with clearly inadequate information may lead to the association being removed from the AYY Association Register. Only associations belonging to the first list of AYY’s Association Register can apply for operating grants. You can check which list your association belongs to from the TAHLO system or from the organizational sector (jarjestoasiat at ayy.fi).

What operating grant? More information: /en/associations/services/operating-grants/

Questions or problems? Send a message to the organizational sector (jarjestoasiat at ayy.fi) or call our Organizational Affairs Specialist at 050 520 9442.

The operating grant applications and association notices will be handled as soon as possible during April. Any possible delays will be informed of separately.

 

2. The TTE Fund’s second application round for 2018 is now open!

The second application round of the TTE Fund for 2018 is now open! The fund may grant financial aid to all AYY members and associations operating within the Student Union. The TTE Fund supports visible activities that reach for the stars and make people excited.

You can apply for grants from TTE Fund in two ways: through the application rounds arranged approximately three times a year, and through the continuous application period, which is open during the academic terms. During the continuous application period, you can apply for grants with a maximum amount of 2000€, whereas the amount of project grants during the actual application rounds is not limited.

The second application round of 2018 will end on Sunday, 18 March 2018, at 23:59. Instructions for the application and its attachments are available on the website of the fund at http://tter.ayy.fi/. The grant can be applied for with an online form which is available at: https://lomake.ayy.fi/tter/hakulomake/

Deadlines for the application rounds for spring 2018 and other additional information are available on the TTE Fund’s website at http://tter.ayy.fi/.

3. Suggest a recipient for the AYY acknowledgement reward

Do you know a pioneer, unconventional bridge-builder or a cross-disciplinary hard worker in the Aalto community who deserves recognition?

Suggest a recipient for the Aalto University Student Union acknowledgement reward! You can make suggestions until March 18th. After the suggestion period is over, the acknowledgement working group will propose the final recipients of acknowledgements to AYY’s Board. Make suggestions here: https://lomake.ayy.fi/hallinto/bling/

P.S. If you’d rather take part in deciding who gets the rewards, apply for the acknowledgement working group: https://lomake.ayy.fi/hallinto/hakemuslomake-huomionosoitustyoryhmaan/

The organisation must commit to provide the full contribution of at least ten people. Cleaning will take place on Wednesday, 2 May, approx. from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m.

5. Train as a Security Officer, AYY pays for the costs!

AYY is organizing a Security Officer course. The training is held from the 6th to the 8th and from the 14th to the 16th of April 2018. The course is free if you commit to working as a Security Officer in four (4) AYY events by the end of 2019. You can also take part in the Security Officer refresher course on the 14th of April if your Security Officer card is running out of date. The refresher course is free if you commit to working as a Security Officer in one (1) AYY event.

The course has 20 slots and it’s organized in Otaniemi. The course will be held in Finnish.

The signup opens on the 12th of March at 12:00 noon and closes on the 22nd of March at 23:59 or when the course is full.

1. IMPORTANT: Submissions for association notices and operating grant applications start on March 1st, at 12:00 noon, and end on March 29th, at 12:00 noon

Submissions for association notices and operating grant applications started on Thursday, March 1st, at 12:00 noon, and will end on March 29th, at 12:00 noon.

All associations within AYY must fill out a yearly association notice. Failing to fill out the notice for two consecutive years or submitting an association notice with clearly inadequate information may lead to the association being removed from the AYY Association Register. Only associations belonging to the first list of AYY’s Association Register can apply for operating grants. You can check which list your association belongs to from the TAHLO system when it opens on March 1st, or you can contact the organizational sector before that (jarjestoasiat at ayy.fi).

The operating grant applications and association notices will be handled as soon as possible during April. Any possible delays will be informed of separately.

More information about the operating grants can be found at /en/associations/services/operating-grants/, where you can also find the scoring model that is used for distributing the grants and the amount of grants distributed in the past years. In any unclear matters, please contact the organisational sector (jarjestoasiat at ayy.fi). You can also contact the Organisational Affairs Specialist by phone at 050 520 9442, available from Monday to Friday between 10-14.

NB! Funding for projects outside the regular operations and for new mind-blowing ideas can be applied through the TTE-Fund (http://tter.ayy.fi/hae-avustusta/briefly-in-english/).

Using the association database TAHLO

The association notice is filled out and the operating grants are applied for via the TAHLO system (Operating grant application). The system can be found at http://tahlo.ayy.fi/.

You can log in by using the association’s username and password. These are the same as during the last round of operating grant applications. If you have forgotten your username or password, you can recover it and have it sent to the association’s contact e-mail address at https://tahlo.ayy.fi/password_reset/. If you still have problems logging in, please contact the organisational sector (jarjestoasiat at ayy.fi). If your association does not already have a username and password, please contact the organisational sector immediately (jarjestoasiat at ayy.fi), and they will create a username and password for you. Store the TAHLO password somewhere safe: you will need it again next year.

Take care when filling out the information. The information from the previous year is copied from the old system. The basic information for 2017 (name of the association, address, etc.) are filled out automatically also for this year, so you do not need to fill out all the fields again. You can update the form up until it closes on 29th March, at 12:00, so you do not need to do everything at once. Remember to save your changes before exiting a tab! Please also note that the form has some fields that the association cannot fill in by themselves (for example the class within the Association Register that the association belongs to). These fields will be filled in by the organisational sector.

If you have any problems with the system, spot any spelling mistakes or anything else that is out of place, please notify us at jarjestoasiat(at)ayy.fi. We try to be alert if, for example, the system goes down, but letting us know of any problems will help us react even faster.

NB! Special status associations also need to fill out the Special status tab. This is compulsory for all special status associations. The tab asks you to answer how the association currently fulfils the requirements of a special status association, as laid down in AYY’s association regulations. The information is used to examine the special status and to develop the association field of the Student Union. The information entered into the Special status tab does not affect the operating grant application, but the operating grant possibly awarded to the special status association will not be paid if the information is missing.

If you are only filling out the association notice without applying for the operating grant, you will need:
*   Rules in effect
*   The annual report for 2017
*   The strategy for 2018
*   A list of the officers

Fill out the following tabs: General, Board, Facilities and Attachments. Special status associations must also fill out the Special Status tab. You do not need to do anything with the tab labeled Application.

If you are also applying for the operating grant, you will need:
* Rules in effect
* The annual report for 2017
* The financial statement, balance sheet, profit and loss statement for 2017
* The strategy for 2018
* The budget for 2018
* A list of the officers

If you are going to be late with any of the documents, for example because of the date of the annual meeting, please let the organisational sector know well in advance (jarjestoasiat at ayy.fi)! Additional time can be granted for good reasons, but missing documents will count negatively towards the awarded grant.

Take good care when filling out the tabs, especially the Operating Grant Application. The operating grants will be distributed according to the scoring model: /wp-content/uploads/Pisteytysmalli_ENG.pdf. Make sure to answer all the questions carefully, as points will be distributed according to your answers.

Profile on the AYY website
A prerequisite for the operating grant is an association profile on the AYY website. The profile needs to exist in at least one of the official languages (Finnish or Swedish) and in English. The most important thing is that all association profiles can be found in all three language versions. You do not need to translate the profiles into all three languages; two out of three is sufficient. For example, the profile can be found in Finnish on the Finnish site (ayy.fi) and in English on the English and Swedish sites. You can add the translations from the editing page: under the Language bar on the right-hand side, you will find a section called Translations or Translate this Document.

Every association is responsible for updating their profile and its translated version. If there is no one in your association who knows either one of the official languages (Finnish or Swedish), please contact the Organisational Affairs Specialist.

You can edit the profile by logging in at /wp-admin/. The username is usually the abbreviation the association uses of itself. If you have forgotten the password, you can reset it via the login page. The usernames are usually connected to the e-mail address of the association’s board, so you should receive the confirmation e-mail there. If you have any problems, please contact the organisational sector (jarjestoasiat at ayy.fi).

 

2. Have you encountered harassment or inappropriate treatment in Aalto? Contact AYY’s harassment contact persons!

AYY has harassment contact persons, a man and a woman who are AYY employees. Members of Aalto community can be in contact with a harassment contact person if they have themselves experienced or encountered harassment in the university community, including the Student Union’s activities, the student organization’s activities, or during study events. Harassment contact persons provide assistance in identifying harassment and provide counseling, discussion assistance, and, if needed, assist in resolving the situation. The queries are directed to other services or to contact authorities or university staff if the need arises and the person who made contact so wishes.

All contacts are confidential, and their content is not collected in the Student Union, nor is it communicated to anyone without the consent of the person who has contacted the harassment contact person.

The current harassment contact persons are:

Minna Mäkitalo, harassment contact person hairinta-nainen@ayy.fi telephone 050 520 9438
Lauri Jurvanen, harassment contact person hairinta-mies@ayy.fi telephone 050 520 9438

Harassment or inappropriate behavior may occur as verbal or nonviolent offense, unwanted physical touch, threats, unwanted communication, exclusion from a community, or otherwise hindering one’s chances of participating in the community’s activities in an inappropriate way. The experience of harassment is subjective, and what is offensive and distressing and qualifies as harassment varies from one person to another, so the most important thing is how a person experiences the situation.

Do not hesitate to contact the harassment contact persons if you suspect that you or someone you know has been harassed and needs help. We also give advice to organizations.

Best Wishes,
Harrasment contact persons Minna & Lauri
Aalto University Student Union (AYY)

  1. Curriculum planning training Oct 11th and Oct 18th

Listening to students is an important part of the curriculum process, and this autumn, all the degree programs are preparing a new two-year curriculum. AYY will organize a training session for students about the curriculum process, how to take part in the process and the basic concepts of the curriculum.

The training is especially useful for persons responsible for educational affairs in associations, both present and future ones, as well as for chairpersons. The reform will concern all degree programs, so make sure that you have someone from your association attending and hearing more about it!

More information about the training and registration can be found here: https://lomake.ayy.fi/koulutuspolitiikka/opetussuunnitelmakoulutus-11-10-18-10/

More information: susanna.koistinen at ayy.fi (Specialist, Academic Affairs)

 

  1. Come work at the Teekkarisillis!

We offer associations the opportunity to make some money at the Teekkari Tradition Party’s Teekkarisillis.

We need a group of at least 15 eager people to work at the Teekkarisillis on the 11th of November from 8:00 to 22:00. The work includes everything from the morning arrangements to cooking and cleaning. We will pay a compensation of 1000€ to the association for their work.

If your association is unable recruit the required number of workers for the Teekkarisillis, you can also split the job between two associations. It would be best if one association could handle the whole job, however.

If you want to sign up or have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact me.
