Deeds of the Year 2023 – Propose Award Winners by 29 November

The purpose of the Deeds of the Year awards is to make high-quality work in Haaga-Helia visible. Proposals can be sent by Haaga-Helia's staff and students, no later than 29 November 2023.

Four award categories represent our versatile activities

The Deed of the Year can be proposed in four categories: Pedagogical Deed of the Year, RDI Deed of the Year, Societal and International Deed of the Year, and Community Deed of the Year. The Deed of the Year develops Haaga-Helia and its operations. The novelty value of the deed, Haaga-Helia's values and strategic priorities will be emphasized when selecting the winners.

You can submit your proposal to any or all of the categories:

• The Pedagogical Deed of the Year rewards high-quality higher education teaching, learning and guidance or development work in these areas at Haaga-Helia. 
• The RDI Deed of the Year rewards the promotion of high-quality research, development and innovation activities at Haaga-Helia. 
• The Societal and International Deed of the Year rewards the promotion of high-quality commercial, international or regional development activities at Haaga-Helia. 
• The Community Deed of the Year rewards an action or act that has promoted Haaga-Helia's community values. 

The different aspects of the award categories have been taken into account in the representation of the selection committee.
