Participate in the development of the University of Eastern Finland’s room booking services by answering a short survey on Peppi and Tuudo’s booking functionalities. It takes about five minutes to complete the survey.
The survey evaluates how smoothly bookings are handled in Peppi and Tuudo and how the expanded booking rights have affected the management of studies and work tasks.
The survey is conducted anonymously, and no personal data is collected. The responses will be treated confidentially and used to develop the University of Eastern Finland’s room booking services and in a related thesis.
