Openness, trust, quality and integrity

The working culture of the JYU community is based on openness, trust, quality and integrity. Our thinking is fresh, and we inspire and encourage each other to test our boundaries. We value and make use of our differences while nurturing interaction and trust. We promote multidisciplinary cooperation and continuously aim to improve quality.

We want to be a provider of wisdom and wellbeing for individuals and society as well as a global leader in the study of learning, wellbeing and basic natural phenomena.
