RUN-EU Day

We are part of the RUN European University, an alliance formed by regional higher education institutions from all over Europe. On the last Friday in September, we will organise a RUN-EU Day, to which you are warmly invited, whether you are a student, a member of our staff or just interested in learning about our European University and the many opportunities it offers. 

RUN-EU Day at Hämeenlinna University Centre (Visamäentie 35) at 9–13 and Goodman Shopping Centre (Kaivokatu 7, Hämeenlinna) at 16–20

The event will take place in two parts. The daytime event will take place at the Hämeenlinna University Centre and the evening event at the Goodman Shopping Centre, together with the European Researchers’ Night event.

At the day event, you will hear about the RUN-EU experiences of our students and staff, learn about the different opportunities and internationalisation experiences RUN-EU offers, test your own RUN-EU skills in quizzes, and learn about European Universities and their impact. 

The RUN-EU Day will culminate in an evening event at the Goodman Shopping Centre, where you will find both our European University and our applied research! The evening event will give you an insight into RUN-EU and its many opportunities, for example as a catalyst for international cooperation in Kanta-Häme. 

The RUN-EU Day programme: 

Day event, Hämeenlinna University Centre

9.30-11 How do you understand European values? What do they mean in the everyday reality of higher education? Join this interactive workshop built on a research project exploring European values are interpreted and practiced across RUN-EU institutions – through the perspectives of students, educators, and professionals.

We’ll dive into the role of multilingualism, multiculturalism, and higher education in shaping Europe’s shared future, and reflect on how the European values are present in our own work and learning. Expect inspiring discussions, practical insights, and plenty of space for your own ideas. Your voice matters – come share your perspective. The workshop is facilitated by Marcel Haagsma, lecturer and researcher at NHL Stenden University of Applied Sciences, The Netherlands. The workshop is open to HAMK students and staff and anyone interested in the topic. Register to the workshop.
