Havuja Bootcamp is the 1st stage of the Havuja business accelerator program by Business Center North Savo.

Bootcamp is meant for anyone who has an initial business idea and would like to work on it. Participants get to develop their business idea in four intensive 3h workshops with the help of experts from Business Center North Savo. You don’t have to have a clear business idea ready. In the final session all teams get to present their business idea to the Bootcamp jury.

You can participate by yourself or as a team. You get two (2) credits from participating to your elective studies.

Havuja Bootcamp is actualized in English, and therefore, it is open to all exchange and international degree students in our educational institutions. Finnish students are naturally welcome as well.

Bootcamp workshop sessions are held online via Zoom.

Maintenance break in Peppi on 15 April 2024 from 4 to 5 pm

09.04.2024 Leave a Comment on Maintenance break in Peppi on 15 April 2024 from 4 to 5 pm

There will be a maintenance break in the Peppi production environment on 15 April 2024 from 4 to 5 pm due to the installation of a new Peppi version.

The Peppi 4.7 version introduces new progress on, e.g.,:

  • sending automatic email messages to registered students
  • cancelling enrollments for open university studies
  • the course registration page of the PSP
  • the cross institutional studies service
  • the OILI integration

In addition, the new version includes fixes for problems in the Peppi source code. Key changes in operations will be introduced in the Peppi Handbook (requires logging in with a UEF account, opens in a new tab).

We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the maintenance break!
