In our member survey in the spring 2023, we asked about wishes towards membership magazines. Many respondents wished for more flexibility. Now we have updated our benefits related to Alma Talent's magazines, and the changes took effect on January 1, 2024. Read more about the changes below.
We will inform our members about the change by email as well. Please check that your email address is up to date in OmaTEK.
There may be interruptions in the reading of digital magazines and the credentials. We apologize for the inconvenience.
If you switch or add a new digital subscription, you will get an email from Alma Talent to activate your credentials approximately within 24 hours.
What has changed?
Your membership benefits will continue to include up to two Alma Talent magazines. Subscriptions to paper magazines will automatically become bundle subscriptions, which allow you to read the same magazine digitally in addition to the paper version.
The full membership fee covers two digital magazines. Subscriptions to paper magazines will become bundle subscriptions, which allow you to read the same magazine digitally in addition to the paper version. For bundle subscriptions, we charge a small additional fee due to increased printing and paper costs (Talouselämä €6/year, other magazines €3/year). As a full member, you can also opt out of magazine subscriptions and receive a discount on your membership fee (if you only subscribe to one magazine, the discount is €21/year, if you opt out of all subscriptions, the discount is €42/year).
Student membership includes free digital versions of Tekniikka&Talous and Talouselämä magazines. In addition, you can subscribe to other magazines in digital or paper format for an additional fee. The prices range from €21 to €57/year depending on the choice of magazine and format.
Pensioner members can still subscribe to up to two magazines for an additional fee. After the update, you can also subscribe to individual magazines. The prices range from €21 to €57/year depending on the choice of magazine and format.
If you wish to continue your subscriptions as before, you don't have to do anything. If you have subscribed to magazines with an additional fee, we will add them to your membership fee invoice for 2024. You can change your subscriptions at OmaTEK or by contacting our member service.
