The UniPlatform project ends
The UniPlatform project was carried out by three Finnish partners and one Swedish partner during the project time 1.9.2008-30.9.2009. The project was funded by Botnia-Atlantica -programme (96 000 EUR/60%), the Regional Council of Ostrobothnia (16 000 EUR/10 %)), the County of Västernorrland (27 000 EUR/16,9%), the City of Pori/UCPori (7 000 EUR/4,4%), SAMK (14 000 EUR/8.8%). Totally the budget comprised 160 000 EUR.
Satakunta University of Applied Sciences (SAMK) was the lead partner (samordnande stödmottagare/www.samk.fi) in the project. Turku School of Economics (www.tse.fi/pori), Pori Unit and Tampere University of Technology (docent Jari Palomäki/Pori Unit) (www.tut.fi/pori) were participating under the umbrella organisation i.e. the University Consortium of Pori (www.porinyliopistokeskus.fi. These two university entities are administrative and autonomous parts of the consortium.
The Swedish project partner was Mid Sweden University/Mittuniversitetet/MIUN/(www.miun.se) which is located in three cities in two geographical regions: Härnösand, Sundsvall and Östersund. The parner agreement was signed between the participating organisations.
The cooperation was conducted in the fields of research, education and collaboration between the regions of Satakunta and Västernorrland. The UniPlatform was an innovative pilot project lasting 13 months and the priority area was 2; 2.1.”Tillväxt genom samverkan, tema kompetens”. The project indicators were 211, 212, 213, 222, 223 and 232.
The aim of the project was to clarify and assess possibilitities to more active and goal-minded cooperation and collaboration between universitities in Västernorrland and Satakunta.
The project has been carried out in accordance with the project plan. The co-operation in the future has to be deepened. There is a common and shared interest between the partners and the project staff to co-operate also in the future. Some new project ideas/plans are under discussion

The UniPlatform Conference was held in Pori
The two day long conference was held in Pori between August 18 and 19, 2009. There were 20 participants alltogether in Pori and Härnösand. The presentations were excellent and they were at very high level. Cooperation between the twin cities Sundsvall-Pori can be tightened after this conference. Project planning meeting on Tuesday evening was very fruitful for the new project to be applied for. During the second day Project Manager Hans Beijar from the Regional Council of Ostrobothnia informed the project about the Botnia-Atlantica programme and the budget situation/the application process in the programme.

Lehdistötiedote/Syyskonferenssi
Satakunnan Ammattikorkeakoulu (SAMK) Lehdistötiedote 11.08.2009
UniPlatform-projekti on kehittänyt tutkimus ja -koulutusyhteistyötä Satakunnan ja Ruotsin Västernorrlannin välille.
Pilottiprojektin tuloksia esittelevä konferenssi järjestetään Porissa 18.-19.8.2009
Satakunnan ammattikorkeakoulu, Porin yliopistokeskus ja ruotsalainen Mittuniversitetet ovat kartoittaneet tutkimus- ja koulutusyhteistyömahdollisuuksia vuoden kestäneessä Botnia-Atlantica-ohjelman rahoittamassa lähialueyhteistyöprojektissa. Projektin rahoitukseen ovat osallistuneet myös Pohjanmaan liitto, Västernorrlannin lääni, Porin kaupunki ja Satakunnan ammattikorkeakoulu.
Projektin tuloksia esittelevä kaksipäiväinen konferenssi järjestetään Porin yliopistokeskuksessa ja Satakunnan ammattikorkeakoulussa 18.-19.8.2009. Konferenssi toteutetaan videokonferenssina Mittuniversitetetin kanssa. Poriin on tulossa delegaatio Mittuniversitetetista.
UniPlatform-projekti on kartoittanut yhteistyömahdollisuuksia tutkimuksen, opetuksen ja opiskelija-/opettajavaihdon alueilla Ruotsin Sundsvallin ja Härnösandin suuntaan.
Projektin aikana on toteutettu tutkimusosio, jossa on tutkittu sähköistä tiedonhallintaa pienissä ja keskisuurissa yrityksissä. Lisäksi on selvitetty mahdollisuuksia lisätä opettaja- ja henkilökuntavaihtoa, opiskelijaprojekteja ja saada aikaan kansainvälistä harjoittelua Satakunnan ja Västernorrlannin korkeakoulujen kesken.
Projektitoimintaa on ohjannut ohjausryhmä, jossa on kolmen korkeakoulun sekä Satakuntaliiton ja Västernorrlandin läänin edustajat. Koko projektin vastuullisena johtajana on toiminut SAMKin kansainvälisten asioiden päällikkö Jari Heiniluoma ja projektikoordinaattorina Timo Forsten. Yhteistyökorkeakoulut ovat hakemassa jatkoprojektia, jonka avulla yhteistyömalleja ja -mahdollisuuksia tarkennetaan ja syvennetään.
Mittuniversitetetet on yli 15 000 opiskelijan verkostomaisesti toimiva yliopisto Västernorrlannin läänissä Ruotsin keskiosassa. Sillä on kampus kolmella paikkakunnalla: Sundsvallissa, Härnösandissa ja Östersundissa.
