The University of Helsinki updated its values for the strategy period 2021–2030, in addition to which the University has ethical guidelines pertaining to operations. We adhere to these values at the Helsinki Alumni Hub: truth, Bildung, freedom and inclusivity are realised in the discussion and activities of the Hub. Below is a description of the etiquette for communicating in an appreciative and respectful manner that promotes discussion.
Don’t hesitate to initiate discussion. Invite and encourage others to join in. Say thanks, raise your thumb, offer tips and share content.
The University of Helsinki encourages constructive criticism. Express your opinions and take a stance. Boldly make your voice heard and give space to others in discussion.
Respect other people’s work, views and inventions. When clearly citing someone else's text, images or material, mention the source. Let’s use the appropriate style of referencing learnt during our studies.
Respect the privacy of others. Do not publish other people’s personal or sensitive information, such as names, addresses or phone numbers, without consent. Ask for permission before publishing other people’s photos.
Always strive for respectful dialogue and never exclude anyone from discussion without a well-grounded reason. However, we do not condone defamatory, insulting or discriminatory content. If you come across such content, immediately contact the administrators.
You can share information about your events, training sessions, books authored by you and material published by you. Instead of advertising, we share thoughts and skills within the community.
Ask University of Helsinki graduates and former University employees to join the alumni community. All University alumni are welcome at the Hub, regardless of their discipline. This serves to continuously enrich discussion and activities. You have the best fellow students and colleagues, so invite them to participate.
In all of our operations, we comply with the law and regulations as well as University guidelines. Each member of the alumni community is responsible for complying with the relevant regulations.
In the case of misconduct or inappropriate behaviour in the community, the Hub administrators have the right to block users from the Helsinki Alumni Hub platform.
