Discussion
Conclusion & discussion • EA maturity in Finnish HE sector is low • Only half have achieved the Defined level • Goal is to get all to Defined level in by end of the 2017 • What to do next? • Focus on domains having lowest maturity • Provide appropriate training • Call for European wide EA maturity benchmark
