“The goal of the Russian-Finnish project is to develop cross-border education, and one of its main tasks is to develop international educational programs. The winter school at LETI is an excellent example of such cooperation, which opens up new opportunities for Russian and Finnish students.
Many students from Russia are already taking a full course at XAMK. I would like to thank students participating in the Winter School at LETI. You are participating in the creation of a new kind of cooperation.” — Jarmo Kujanpää, Race4Scale Project Manager
