The EU Erasmus+ project MaxiPAC (Maximizing Previously Acquired Competences) will organize a symposium on Wednesday 27 October 2021, 12:30-14:45 GMT+ at the Arctic Centre in Rovaniemi.

The symposium is organized in collaboration with SIMHE
services and various Universities in Finland, with keynote speakers from the
Ministry of Education and Culture, the Finnish National Agency for Education, and
international guests from institutions abroad.

The symposium aims
at finding ways to improve access to higher education and employment among third
country nationals and those in refugee-like situations. MaxiPAC will bring together
policy-makers, entrepreneurs, students, teachers, researchers, and persons of other
professions in higher education, to participate in contributing ideas for designing
a best practices guide on “language valorization in Finnish higher
education”.
