This publication compiles examples of interesting ongoing or recently ended Research, Development and Innovation (RDI) projects implemented and carried out in this focus area. This publication seeks to disseminate the activities and results of these RDI projects and thus to increase communication between LAB University of Applied Sciences and its partner universities, companies and other stakeholders. With this publication we wish to activate the discussion on the multifaceted issues of health and well-being

Suomessakin olemme joutuneet noiden muutosten vuoksi uudenlaisiin, nopeasti muuttuviin ja epävarmuutta aiheuttaviin tilanteisiin. Jouduimme kaikki alkuvuodesta maailmanlaajuisesti levinneen viruksen aiheuttamaan hämäännyksen tilaan. Yrittäjyyden, yritteliäisyyden ja tulevaisuususkon merkitys ovat saaneet aivan uudet ulottuvuudet. Emme anna periksi, vaan pikemminkin nyt toimimme tarmokkaammin, yhteistyössä ja toisiamme tukien. Sanoessani 3.10.2019 Helsingissä Haaga-Helia ammattikorkeakoulun aulassa YKTT2019-päätöstilaisuuden yhteydessä: “Tehdään Mikkelin YKTT202 Yrittäjyyskasvatuspäivistä erityiset”, en arvannut noiden sanojen käyvän toteen näin sananmukaisesti. YKTT2020 – Yrittäjyyskasvatuspäivien järjestelyissä muutosten määrä toteutui potenssiin xxx. Tähän YKTT2020 – Yrittäjyyskasvatuspäivät -konferenssijulkaisuun on koottu päivien aikana esitettyjä akateemisia tai casetutkimuksia, niistä tehtyjä artikkeleita tai abstrakteja. Päivien anti oli erinomaisen vakuuttava, suomalaisen yrittäjyyskasvatustutkimuksen näyttämö. Aivan uusia tutkimusavauksiakin tehtiin mm. kestävän kehityksen, kiertotalouden, maahanmuuttajuuden sekä uuden normaalin ilmentymisen yrittäjyystutkimusten teemoissa

Aim Our aim was to develop and validate a large-scale facility that uses hydrogen peroxide vapour for the decontamination of used respirators. Methods A multidisciplinary and multisectoral ad hoc group of experts representing various organisations was assembled to implement the collection and transport of used FFP2 and FFP3 respirators from hospitals covering 86% of the Finnish population. A large-scale decontamination facility using hydrogen peroxide vapour was designed and constructed. Microbiological tests were used to confirm efficacy of hydrogen peroxide vapour decontamination together with a test to assess the effect of decontamination on the filtering efficacy and fit of respirators. Bacterial and fungal growth in stored respirators was determined by standard methods. Results Large-scale hydrogen peroxide vapour decontami...

It has become a top priority in national government policies because of its significance as a driver of economic growth, creativity, and innovation. The crucial role of entrepreneurship has also been reflected in educational policies. The research field of entrepreneurship education has increased substantially during the last fifteen years. Several studies reveal the significance of entrepreneurship education, the essential elements of entrepreneurial learning, and the impact of entrepreneurship education on students' entrepreneurial competences. According to a number of studies, teachers play a crucial role in enhancing students' entrepreneurial competences. Collaboration between universities and businesses has been evoked as a good practice in entrepreneurship education. Nevertheless, there is still a great need for research on the relationship between the teachers in charge of entrepre...

As being entrepreneurial in the teaching context can be explored from various angles, the paper focuses on two important elements of this construct: the innovativeness and risk-taking ability of the teacher. The authors present empirical evidence from 1,011 higher education teachers from 21 different higher education institutions in Finland. The results show that a teacher’s innovativeness and risk-taking ability have a positive relationship with the use of entrepreneurial teaching methods, and influences how the teacher encourages the development of students’ entrepreneurial competences. An innovative and risk-taking teacher varies the teaching methods used in entrepreneurship education. The study suggests that teachers with a l...

The objective of this chapter is to narrow this research gap by investigating the impact of organizational strategy and school leadership on a teacher's perceptions of entrepreneurship in teaching. This chapter explores the impact of a teacher's own entrepreneurial background and entrepreneurship training on these perceptions. The data consist of 1,119 answers from Finnish higher education institute (HEI) teachers. Findings show that managerial practices in the HEI in supporting entrepreneurship education have a positive impact on the teachers' perceptions. Additionally, a teacher's entrepreneurial background and entrepreneurship training play a role in shaping the teacher's perceptions of the importance of entrepreneurship education. Universities can become...

The authors investigate how students experience EC and which factors explain their perceptions of EC. The study is based on a survey of HEI students in Finland with 1277 responses. The results show that formal institutional support and institution-level activities have the strongest impact on the students’ experienced EC. According to the findings, formal institutional support has a greater impact on students’ perceptions of EC than student-driven activities. Furthermore, the results highlight that the encouragement of teachers has a greater influence on students’ perceptions of EC than peer students and student-driven activities. Accordingly, the paper’s theoretical contribution to the literature lies in its demonstration that institutional support, in addition to the encouragement of teachers, influences HEI st...

The themes of development are: With the development of conditions and infrastructure towards versatile and accessible actions; With digitalization towards effective accessibility; With the shared brand message towards an excellent customer experience; and With strong expertise towards seamless cooperation. The framework illustrates business development, sustainable solutions, dissemination and internationalization as cross-cutting perspectives. Furthermore, it provides regional guidelines for long-term collaborative development work; the identification of new synergies; the development of the sport, tourism and well-being business; and the strengthening of systematic and experimental innovation. It is a comprehensive regional plan for social interaction, and political–administrative decision-making and practice in Päijät-Häme. The framework can be used in other regions in a cross-administrative way to identify the specific characteristics of a region, highlight competitive advantages and outline the excellence of stakeholders.

Social responsibility is approached from the broad-based perspectives – especially how research and development (R&D) activities of universities can be seen as platforms for university–community partnerships. This chapter first opens up the driving forces behind the universities’ social responsibility. The second section portrays how social responsibility is implemented in the Finnish and Australian universities. The following section addresses the significance of universities’ R&D activities in promoting social responsibility. Finally, the chapter ends with the discussion on the action models, which supports the social responsibility in university–community partnership.
