Page "Education in Finland" Paragraph 72

New methods of cooperation such as consortia and federations have been introduced within universities ( e. g., University of Turku and Turku School of Economics Consortium ).

Partnerships between universities and polytechnics are also developing ( e. g., the University of Kuopio and Savonia University of Applied Sciences formed the Northern Savonia Higher Education Consortium ).

In general, such system-wide change closely follows the pattern established in Central Europe and the United States and Spain and Hungary.
