At its meeting in Tampere on Friday, 21st March, the General Council of the Academic Engineers and Architects in Finland TEK elected PhD Arto Timperi as the chair of TEK’s board.

Mari-Leena Talvitie, chair of TEK's board, will become Minister for Science and Culture in January. TEK's General Council will elect a new chair at the spring council in March.

The autumn meeting of TEK's General Council was held on 14-15 November 2024 at Original Sokos Hotel Tripla, Helsinki. The meeting was full of important decisions and topical reviews that will guide the organisation's activities in the coming year.

The duties of TEK's chair can be divided into TEK activities and other advocacy efforts. Board activities are governed by values, the council agreement and the annual budget and plan.

The autumn meeting of TEK’s General Council was held in Tripla, Pasila, 23–24 November. The Council Arena was organised for the first time in conjunction with the meeting.

TEK’s council agreement for the term 2023–2026 aims for an even better life. CEO Jari Jokinen explains how this will be achieved in practice.

Ensuring a proper salary level for TEK members is one of the main objectives of our advocacy.
