Academy of Finland and EF become national partners of EYP Finland

The Academy of Finland (Suomen Akatemia) and EF Education First have joined European Youth Parliament Finland as national partners of the organisation and its Your European Citizenship Campaign in 2012.

The Academy of Finland is the leading funding body of scientific research in Finland. Its mission is to finance high-quality scientific research, act as a science and science policy expert, and strengthen the position of science and research. The Academy works to contribute to the renewal, diversification and increasing internationalisation of Finnish research. Its operation covers the full spectrum of scientific disciplines.

EF Education First is an international education company that specialises in language training, educational travel, academic degree programs and cultural exchange. As of 2012, it is the largest private education provider in the world.

The Academy of Finland and EF will support EYP Finland and its programmes in a variety of ways in 2012–2013. The board of EYP Finland expresses its warmest thanks to both organisations for their support.
