Tools for doctoral researchers

UEF’s digital working environment is technically a Microsoft Office365 environment customised for UEF. It contains different tools and applications, e.g. Teams, Viva Engage, and One Drive. The use of o365 requires you to register as a Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) user.  You are also allowed to install an Office pack on your home computer via the Office 365 service.

More  information about the M365 apps and tools can be found in UEF intranet (requires UEF login).

On this page you can find the software provided by the University of Eastern Finland and information for purchasing some of them.

The software on UEF computers is standardized and basic programs are preinstalled on the computer automatically. There are also many other software provided by the university. Many can be installed from the installation portal Software Center. If installation of a program is needed for more computers at the same time, the installation can be done by the UEF IT Services. There is a possibility to install some software to home computers within the contracts of the UEF.
