Espoon kaupunki ja Aalto-yliopisto tekevät tiivistä ja pitkäjänteistä tutkimusyhteistyötä kansainvälisten kuntalaisten ja maahanmuuttajien palveluiden kehittämiseksi. Mutta miten palveluita kannattaa kehittää – ja miksi juuri tutkimuksen kautta? Mitä annettavaa tutkijoilla on kaupungin käytännön työhön, ja toisaalta, mitä tutkimus saa, kun se juurtuu paikalliseen elämään ja päätöksentekoon?
Espoo on linjannut strategiseksi tavoitteekseen olla Suomen paras kotouttaja ja kansainvälisyyden suunnannäyttäjä. Tämä ei toteudu yksin vaan tanssiin tarvitaan kaksi. Tarvitaan kumppanuutta, tietoa, kokeiluja ja ennen kaikkea yhteistä tahtoa.
Tämänkertainen LASER Talks on tutkijoiden itsensä ideoima ja organisoima. Se avaa Espoon ja Aallon tutkimusyhteistyön tuloksia ja pohtii, millaisia vaikuttavuuden muotoja tällä yhteistyöllä voi olla tulevaisuudessa ja mitä mielenkiintoista tietoa tämä tarjoaa muille kunnille ja tutkijoille.
Tervetuloa Marsioon kiehtovaan Aalto LASERtalks -tapahtumaan, panelisteina:
Trust-M is a partnership between Aalto University, University of Helsinki, Tampere University, and City of Espoo. The project aims to create trustworthy digital public services for improved integration of migrants in Finland, hence strengthening Finnish society through increased inclusion and economic vibrance.
Lasten oppimistaitojen tukemisella on suuri vaikutus muun muassa jatko-opiskeluun ja työllistymiseen.
Tuemme espoolaisia korkeakoulutettuja maahanmuuttajia työnhaussa ja työllistymisessä.
