Internationalisation in Finnish education
Information, support and development funding for internationalisation
The Finnish National Agency for Education EDUFI promotes the internationalisation of Finnish society and supports the international cooperation of educational institutions and organizations
We advance the internationalisation of Finnish society by supporting development projects in education with government subsidies and coordinating international traineeship, exchange and scholarship programmes. We are responsible for implementing and providing information about the European Union's programmes in our field in Finland. We also provide information about university studies in Finland to international prospects.
We also strengthen the role of Finland in developing education globally and providing solutions for the global learning crisis both through development cooperation and collaboration on a commercial basis.
EDUFI is a part of several international information sharing networks that produce information about, for example, education and youth work in different countries.
