1. Registered associations’ notices of change for the Patent and Registration Office (PRH) and changes in the Associations Act on July 1, 2016

The Associations Act was changed on July 1, 2016 to allow the Patent and Registration Office (PRH) to purge defunct associations from its register. This removal process involves about 40,000 registered associations that have not filed a report with the associations register after 1995 and whose operation is not expected to continue. An association may avoid the removal process if it files a notice of its continuing operation to PRH by January 12, 2017.

The dates of the latest reports filed to PRH by associations in AYY’s associations register were checked from PRH’s public associations database in June.  Associations in AYY’s register that had filed their last report before 1996 have been contacted separately. However, if you know that your association has not filed a report with PRH about the latest changes in rules or signatory rights, you should take care of this as soon as possible. If you are unsure of the date of the latest report, you can check it from PRH’s database at http://yhdistysrekisteri.prh.fi/etusivu.htx. In accordance with the Associations Act, registered associations have a responsibility to file a notice with PRH about changes in rules and signatory rights. Rule changes will become effective when they are entered into the register.

3. Join the Aalto Afterparty on September 6!

Would your association like to be part of the year’s first, biggest and most amazing event? Join the Aalto Afterparty!

The traditional Aalto Afterparty will be held on the Tuesday of orientation week, and as usual, we’ll have brilliant performers, fabulous surroundings and a great vibe! We also want to offer associations an opportunity to get exposure at the event and to promote their activities to new students in a relaxed fashion. Many associations are probably already involved in other events during orientation week, such as the Aalto Party or Otasuunnistus, but at these events, students may easily get confused with so much on offer. The Aalto Afterparty would give you a chance to stand out from the crowd and make a memorable impression of your association! To participate, all you need is an inspiring, spirited activity that reflects your association, plus the people and equipment needed for organizing it.

You can inform us of your willingness to participate by sending e-mail to afterparty@list.ayy.fi by Sunday, August 28.

We welcome you to make the Aalto Afterparty even faster and more stunning. 😉

For more information about the event, see https://www.facebook.com/events/533125386886320/

With late summer greetings,
The Aalto Afterparty Committee
