You will receive guidance in doctoral studies by several actors:
coordinator of your doctoral programme provides guidance on studies of the doctoral programme, personal study plan, and study administration
administrative staff of the faculty provides general guidance in the doctoral studies of the faculty, on study administration, and decisions
supervisors provide you supervision on your doctoral dissertation, and have conversations with you on Supervision Plan, Career Plan, and your Personal Study Plan (PSP).
Contact information on doctoral education
The officers at the faculties (doctoral education)
Information concerning Researcher Training Services and researcher’s transferable skills studies: Merja Lyytikäinen and Ira Virtanen. You will always find courses offered for doctoral researchers in Peppi.
In the beginning of doctoral studies, at least two supervisors will be appointed for every doctoral researcher. The supervisors are appointed by the Dean in the decision on admission to doctoral studies. The requirements for the supervisors vary among the faculties.
Philosophical Faculty
A doctoral researcher is assigned at least two supervisors, one of whom is the main supervisor and must have an employment relationship with the Philosophical Faculty. All instructors must have a doctoral degree. The main supervisor must be an adjunct professor or have an equivalent scientific qualification.
Faculty of Science, Forestry and Technology
At least two supervisors are appointed for doctoral researchers, one of whom is the main supervisor and at least one of whom is a member to the university staff. All supervisors must hold a doctoral degree. The scientific qualification of the main supervisor must be equivalent to at least the level of docent. If the main supervisor is not a university staff member, also university staff members the qualification of the supervisor must be at least equivalent to that of a docent.
Faculty of Health Sciences
In the Faculty of Health Sciences each doctoral researcher must have a minimum of two supervisors. All supervisors must have a doctoral degree and the main supervisor must hold, at the minimum, the qualification of a docent or have a corresponding scientific qualification. At least one of the supervisors must be employed by the Faculty of Health Sciences of the University of Eastern Finland.
Faculty of Social Sciences and Business Studies
At least two supervisors shall be appointed for a postgraduate student, one of whom is the principal supervisor and one of whom must belong to the university’s staff. The main supervisor shall hold a docent's title or corresponding qualification. If the main supervisor is not a member of the university's staff, also the member belonging to the universities staff shall hold a docent's title or corresponding qualification.
The roles and responsibilities of doctoral supervisors and doctoral researchers
The role of a supervisor is to
supervise the doctoral research, assist the doctoral researcher in structuring the various stages of their research work (see Supervision Plan), and engage in conversation about possible careers with the intended competencies and degree (Career Plan),
provide guidance in preparing a personal study plan for doctoral studies in such a way that the plan meets the objectives of the degree, the personal aims of the doctoral researcher, and the doctoral programme’s curriculum,
submit, without undue delay, the doctoral researcher’s study attainments for registration,
familiarise the doctoral researcher with the ethical issues of conducting research, good scientific practice, and the principles of managing research data,
commit to supervision: discuss the elements of the doctoral research, provide the doctoral researcher with constructive feedback, and support the research inquiry and the progress of the doctoral studies,
facilitate the doctoral researcher’s integration into the national and international scientific community and encourage them to create a peer support network,
support the doctoral researcher in applying for funding, and write recommendation letters and statements in timely fashion,
ensure that the research meets the context- and form-based criteria required of a doctoral dissertation before it is submitted for review or pre-review,
go through and evaluate the comparative results provided by the plagiarism detection system on the manuscript of the doctoral dissertation.
The Supervision Plan, Career Plan, and the Personal Study Plan all aim to support the supervision teams (doctoral researcher and the supervisors). The courses that the doctoral researcher takes provide a great opportunity for the team to elaborate on research and field specific ethics, data management, safe and responsible use of AI, etc., and engage in mutual learning during supervision meetings.
The responsibility of a doctoral researcher is to
register each year as present or absent,
ensure that their research plan is updated and to commit to conducting research,
prepare a personal study plan for doctoral studies on the basis of the research topic, the scientific objectives of the degree and their personal aims, for example, career goals, and ensure that the plan is kept up-to-date,
submit to the supervisors, without undue delay, documentation concerning study attainments based on scientific activities,
familiarise themself with guidance on research ethics and data management principles, and comply with these in pursuing studies and conducting research for the doctoral dissertation,
utilise guidance and take into account feedback received from the supervisor (see Supervision Plan) as well as make use of the opportunities for guidance from and in the community at large (e.g., peer support),
participate during their studies in the activities of the scientific community and in scientific discussion and doctoral education,
bear responsibility for obtaining financing (e.g., foundations, funding by a company, and other supplementary financing) and request, when necessary, a reference/recommendation letter from the supervisor in good time, before the deadline of application,
submit the manuscript of the doctoral dissertation for scrutiny by the plagiarism detection system prior to pre-examination, request a public defence, publish the doctoral dissertation, and apply for the degree certificate.
Changing doctoral supervisors
The supervisor can be replaced for a justified reason or additional supervisors can be appointed. Examples of justified reasons are if the theme of the research project has been changed or readjusted or if the research project is not making satisfactory progress.
In long-term and intensive collaborative relationships, it’s natural that disagreements may arise from time to time. During the process, unexpected life events may also occur that affect one’s ability to work. It’s worth putting effort into communication to foster mutual respect and understanding. Often, misunderstandings can be resolved by having open and timely conversations. This also clarifies collaboration. Please see also information on conflict situations in Kamu.
A proposal to change a supervisor may be made by either the doctoral researcher or the supervisor. The change must be mutually agreed upon by all parties involved, and the final decision is made by the Dean. To initiate the process, please fill out the form for changing supervisors.
In Philosophical Faculty: Send the form by email to filodoctoralstudies(at)uef.fi. From the Student and Learning Services, the form will be sent for signing to all parties and the dean via the UEF//Sign program. Once everyone has signed the form, it can be downloaded from the UEF//Sign program.
In Faculty of Science, Forestry and Technology: Send the form by email to lumetdissertations(at)uef.fi. Along with the form, you must provide the consent of the doctoral researcher and all supervisors (including those who are stepping down). Consent can be given either by email or by signing the form. The supervisor change confirmed by the dean will be sent from the faculty to the doctoral researcher and the supervisors.
In Faculty of Health Sciences: Send the form by email to [email protected]. Along with the form, you must provide the consent of the doctoral researcher and all supervisors (including those who are stepping down). Consent can be given either by email or by signing the form. The supervisor change confirmed by the dean will be sent from the faculty to the doctoral researcher and the supervisors.
In Faculty of Social Sciences and Business Studies: Send the form by email to jatko-opinnaytteet.yhka(at)uef.fi. Along with the form, you must provide the consent of the doctoral researcher and all supervisors (including those who are stepping down). Consent can be given either by email or by signing the form. The supervisor change confirmed by the dean will be sent from the faculty to the doctoral researcher and the supervisors.
Support for supervisors
According to research, satisfaction of the doctoral researcher increases when the supervisor and the doctoral researcher have a mutual understanding on the supervisor’s duties, and the contents and frequency of supervision (Pyhältö et al. 2015). A supervisor has a crucial role in the progress of doctoral studies in many ways. Yet, formal supervision should not be the sole source of guidance in one’s doctoral journey. Support from the supervisors and the research community at large, for example, decreases the risk of attrition and professional exhaustion (Peltonen et al. 2017). Conferences, seminars, multidisciplinary courses, formal and informal peer support groups, and conversations with other professionals are all beneficial in shining light to the process.
Support for doctoral researchers to plan and lead your project
Have an annual conversation with your supervisors on the topics laid out in your Supervision Plan to agree and review, for example, the division of duties, guidance, and support as well as the practices and working methods of your supervision team.
See tips produced in a workshop “Seminar for PhD students and their supervisors” in 2018 by Dr. Sanna Vehviläinen and most recently edited by Dr. Ira Virtanen at Researcher Training Services.
Reflect on and disclose your working habits and communication style to your supervisors (e.g., self-leadership, need for guidance, desired frequency of interaction, etc). Be open to negotiating and learning new practices.
Share, discuss, and express your expectations and feelings with your supervisors. Acknowledge that they have their own goals and work tasks.
Make sure that you agree on the mutual goals and practices. Furthermore, as time goes by and the research progresses, it is recommended and inspiring to review the practices, make editions, and celebrate the goals already achieved and verbalise the goals remaining before graduating.
Prepare for meetings with the supervisors in advance. Define the agenda and send the relevant information beforehand. Negotiate what “beforehand” means to each party and make sure everyone commits to the timeline. Deadlines bring clarity, predictability, and much needed support for time management and cognitive wellbeing.
Make memos during the supervision meetings. Decide together where the memos will be stored and how they will be used for the benefit of the collaboration.
Give (also positive and encouraging) feedback to your supervisors. Affirm what works and be assertive in making suggestions.
Find your own networks and meet your colleagues also in informal settings. Social support from peers enhances your wellbeing. We are pleased to offer you a course on “Peer Mentoring and Collegial Relationships” (see more from Peppi).
Balance work and free time, and keep your working hours reasonable. Relaxation and recovery will not slow you down. In fact, it helps you to be more productive. Creative work such as research benefits from idle time, walks in the nature, and conversations with others.
Take a break, sleep enough, exercise, get fresh air, eat healthy, break the routines. Get curious about the different ways researchers conduct their work – learning about what works for you builds self-leadership skills and extends the understanding of various perspectives and routines.
Most disagreements are a results of misunderstanding, poor listening, or expectations that were not communicated clearly. It is a normal part of human interaction. Sustain optimism and consider the other’s perspective. If something in your relationship with your supervisor is not functioning, take the initiative for improving it. It starts in communication.
Confidential support and advice from the Researcher Training Services
A doctoral researcher is supported by a vast network including e.g. your own doctoral programme (supervisors, the coordinator and leader of the programme), the head of your unit, HR and occupational/public healthcare.
If you want to talk confidentially about the challenges in your thesis work but you don’t know who to turn to, the employees of the Researcher Training Services offer easy-access support and give advice on which actor could help you resolve the issues.
Conflict situations include, for example, interpersonal conflicts, issues related to different tasks or management, or issues related to supervision. For resolution, the so-called low threshold principle is primarily applied. If the conflict is not resolved, it will be transferred to the head of the department / the dean.
Violations against the responsible conduct of research
Violations of the responsible conduct of research include research misconduct (fabrication, falsification, plagiarism, misappropriation) and disregard for the responsible conduct of research (e.g., denigrating the role of other researchers in publications, manipulating authorship, self-plagiarism, or careless reporting of research results).
If there is reason to suspect a violation of responsible conduct of research, the allegations of research misconduct must be investigated in accordance with the guidelines provided by the Finnish National Board on Research Integrity (TENK). The investigation is a three-tier process: 1) a written notification, 2) a preliminary investigation, and 3) an actual investigation. At the University of Eastern Finland, any allegations of misconduct are reported to the Rector, who is responsible for decision-making throughout the process.
If you need assistance or guidance, you can contact the UEF’s research ethics advisers (in intra, requires UEF login).
In peer mentoring, doctoral researchers share their experiences and knowledge in a committed small group. Peer mentoring groups comprise of equal members: There is no experienced mentor and a novice actor but rather, colleagues supporting each other reciprocally.
You can participate in the peer mentoring activity at any phase of your doctoral journey. Peer mentoring has been found to be rewarding for everyone involved, and it supports well-being, sense of inclusion, and professional growth. The small groups meet regularly to discuss matters related to research and researcher competence development as a holistic experience, i.e., topics that participants find important. We support organising groups both in the campus cities and online in Finnish and in English.
Peer mentors are trained in the fall and the peer mentoring groups start in the spring. The training is offered as a course on the Researcher Training Services’ (ReTS) (former: Doctoral School) curriculum: “Peer Mentoring and Collegial Relationships 1” (course offered in the autumn semester). The course consists of three training meetings and self-study all conducted online (1 ECT). After, you can join “Peer Mentoring and Collegial Relationships 2,” which is you mentoring your own peer group for five or more meetings (part 1 is required to participate in part 2). You receive 2 ECTS in total. In addition, Dr Ira Virtanen hosts regular, voluntary follow-up sessions for peer mentors where you receive support for your peer mentoring. Peer mentoring gives you valuable experience on collegial relationship-building, community wellbeing, personal benefits of being for others –you included!–, and study credits.
Call for peer group participants
When new groups are offered for potential group participants in December 2025, you can find the registration forms in advertisements on the ReTS Newsletter and Viva Engage (channel UEF Doctoral Education). More information from University Lecturer Ira Virtanen ([email protected]).
The curriculum for degree students at the University of Eastern Finland and the open university students is usually the same. The methods of completing studies, however, may differ among different student groups: some method of completing studies may be limited to degree students only, whereas some method of completion may be designed specifically for open university students only. Study carefully the information of each course in Peppi so that you know which courses are suitable for you so that you know how to register for courses correctly! If the method of completion is not limited or allocated to a certain group of students, degree students can choose which courses they will take. In this case, participation in the open university courses is free of charge for degree students who have registered as being present.
If a student has registered as being absent in their degree studies, but during the absence they are studying at the open university, they pay the open university fees.
If degree students need to apply for a minor subject and participation is limited, degree students cannot register to open university studies to complete courses there, if they do not have the right to study obtained through the minor subject selection.
The library acquires both electronic and print resources for its collections mainly in the disciplines researched and taught at the university. The collections hold research literature, course books, periodicals, academic theses, databases, reference books, electronic publications and selected open access resources. You can search for both print and electronic resources in the UEF Primo. More information on the library’s collections is available on the public webpages.
The library organises a course Research Information Retrieval and Management, targeted at doctoral researchers. It introduces the most important subject-specific scholarly information sources and gives basic skills in systematic information retrieval.
The Library provides guidance e.g. on selecting publishing channels, applying for support for article processing charges granted by the university or publishers, and copyright matters.
The library maintains the UEF eRepository (eRepo), an open access materials repository, that contains theses and publications of the University of Eastern Finland, self-archived versions of articles and metadata of research data made available by our researchers.
The objective of UEF publishing and data policy is to ensure that research data produced with public financing is broadly utilisable for the scientific community and the society at large. This requires the methods, results, data and publications of a research study to be opened. More information about open science and open publishing on Library’s webpages. The Library organises a course on Basics of Open and Responsible Science (2 ECTS) as part of the researcher’s transferable skills studies. It provides basic information on the topic.
One of the Finnish Open Science policy goals is, that all research projects create a data management plan (DMP), which ensures that the research data is treated in a manner that it can reliably verified and/or opened.
Data management plan
When a research project starts, it is recommended that a data management plan (DMP) is created for the project. The DMP describes the types of data that are produced, the ownership of data, the ethical aspects related to the data, data storage and back-ups, and storage of metadata (the “background” information related to the data). Documentation of the research data should follow the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reproducible) principles, so that the data can be later opened. Even if the data cannot be opened, i.e., because of GDPR, it must be documented so that it is verifiable. The DMP should be a dynamic document that is updated during the entire project. You can get support for creating a DMP from the Basics of Research Data Management (1 Cp) course that is organized by the UEF Library. The UEF Library also offers support for data management during all stages of research projects
Processing of personal data and data protection
If your research data includes any personal data, the requirements of the GDPR are applied in processing it. Data protection is a fundamental right that safeguards the rights and freedoms of data subjects when personal data is processed. The purpose of data protection is to define when and on what conditions personal data can be processed. Processing of personal data and data protection should be described in data management plan.
Research data and other recorded information can be divided into three categories based on the document secrecy and the general right of access: high protection level, base protection level, and public information. For saving and storing research data, Digital Services provides disk space with backup (50 GB) and without backup (2 TB) as well as REDCap-data management services. Learn more about information security, information security instructions, and information security rules in Heimo (requires UEF login).
Responsible conduct of research forms a basis for all research activities. Responsible conduct of research means practicing integrity, meticulousness and accuracy in all phases of research, using ethically sustainable methods that fulfill scientific criteria, as well as respectful and responsible conduct towards other researchers. Responsible data management as well as openness in sharing the results and conflicts of interest are in the core of responsible conduct of research.
Commitment to responsible conduct of research is primarily up to you, but also to your supervisor, the whole research team, the head of your research unit and the leadership of the University. In addition to good scientific practice, you must take into account up-to-date legislation. At the University of Eastern Finland, violations of good scientific practice are monitored by the leadership of the University (Rector and Vice Rector for Research).
You, just like all doctoral researchers, have to be aware of good scientific practices before starting the doctoral studies.
Ethical review and licenses
The ethical committees assess the ethicality of research project and, if necessary, give statements about them. Responsibility for adhering to the ethical guidelines remains with you despite of a statement issued by the ethical committee. Ethical review protects the subjects and ensures the researcher’s legal protection.
You may also need a permit for your research. The research permit practices vary depending on the discipline and research type.
If you use customer and register data generated in social and health care activities for a purpose other than the primary purpose for which they were originally saved, you must apply for statistical data with a data request and individual-level data with a data permit. More information about Act on the Secondary Use of Health and Social Data.
It is good to reserve time for ethical review and research permit practices in your research plan, since processing occurs via established systems and time-frames.
Research projects and studies in the humanities and social and behavioural sciences
In human sciences, certain research designs require ethical review. The publisher, collaborator, research subject or research funder of the study may also require ethical review. The Committee on Research Ethics of the University of Eastern Finland carries out reviews and issues statements on research projects and studies in the humanities and social and behavioural sciences. The Committee adheres to the guidelines of the National Advisory Board on Research Ethics relating to research in the humanities and social and behavioural sciences. The applicant should familiarise herself/himself with the guidelines. Instructions and forms for making a request for a statement can be found on the university's public website on the public website
A research permit must be sought from the target organisation from which research subjects are recruited. If the ethical statement is needed, it must be sought before the research permit.
Research projects and studies in medicine and health sciences
Scientific research always requires a research permit (at Kuopio University Hospital: an organisation permit). Other permits, statements, and notifications may also be required, depending on the type of research. For example, the Finnish Medicines Agency Fimea must be notified of interventional clinical trials on medicinal products, and the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare THL grants permission to use registers. Research must not be started before all the required permits have been granted.
When a research project or study in Health Sciences or Medicine intervenes with the physical or mental integrity of a person, the project or study is required by law to undergo an ethical review by the ethics committee of the hospital district concerned. Research projects and studies in Medicine and Health Sciences carried out at the University of Eastern Finland are reviewed by the Research Ethics Committee of the Northern Savo Hospital District. The review of the committee adheres to the Medical Research Act (1999/488).
The use of gene technology is regulated by Gene Technology Act (377/1995). The Board for Gene Technology (GTLK), which operates in conjunction with the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health, is the competent authority in Finland regarding the use of genetically modified organisms in accordance with the Act. The Advisory Board on Biotechnology is a consultative body of experts in issues related to bio- and gene technology.
Authenticity check of manuscripts
Turnitin is a tool for checking the authenticity of the text, which you can utilise when ever you write academic texts. You can, for example, check the manuscripts of the scientific articles before submitting them. The doctoral dissertation must be checked with Turnitin before submitting it to pre-examination. More information on the topic: Permission for public examination and pre-examination of doctoral dissertation.
On the course Research Ethics – Principles and Practices you will familiarise yourself with ethical thinking and ethical challenges related to different phases of research. See Peppi for more courses on research ethics and philosophy of science on the curriculum of the Researcher’s Transferable Skills Studies.
Responsible research
The website Responsible research collects timely information on the topic: good scientific practices, research ethics, responsible publishing and open science.

Entrepreneurship and commercialization support services
Draft Program
Draft Program is a program where you can get funding of 1000-4000 euros for your own business idea.
The process is simple: participating teams prepare a business plan with a ready-made A4 template (see the template here), based on which pre-qualification is done. Those who make it to the next stage pitch their business idea to the Draft jury, and the jury decides which ideas get to the program and receive funding. On the first round you can get funding of 1000 euros, and in the follow-up round 3000 euros. In addition, you get to join group sparring sessions.
Competition conditions:
• The team must have at least two (2) people
• At least one member of the team must be either a student, alumni or staff member of UEF, Savonia, Karelia, Sakky or Riveria.
• The team must not already have a company with turnover for their Draft idea
• The goal should be to establish your own company (and not, e.g., to sell a service to a ready-made company and get employed).
See below the video about Kimmo Rautiainen (Butterfly Brick), who participated in the Draft Program:
Draft Program is organized three times a year: in January, May and September.
