China Network Development Days
Welcome to continue and develop the successful cooperation of the China network of Universities of applied sciences on 19–20 May 2025. To Jyväskylä!
The two-day co-creation days bring together the members of the Chinese network of Finnish universities of applied sciences to the Lutakko campus of JAMK University of Applied Sciences to strengthen their cooperation, share their expertise and develop the network's cooperation with China.
The China Network, which includes 15 Finnish universities of applied sciences, was developed as part of the Global Pilots programme of the Ministry of Education and Culture. The network's activities have been coordinated by the 3AMK network, and Haaga-Helia has been responsible for leading it.
Join us in networking, influencing and developing international cooperation with higher education institutions!

Welcome to Jyväskylä!
Jyväskylä is one of Finland's largest student cities, and its higher education institutions bring a youthful and international atmosphere to the city.
Students keep the city alive all year round!
Jyväskylä is known worldwide as the hometown of Alvar Aalto, a master of modern architecture. The city has more than 30 sites designed by Aalto, such as the Säynätsalo Town Hall and the campus area of the University of Jyväskylä.
Jyväskylä is also a waterway city, where Lake Jyväsjärvi, Lake Päijänne and numerous smaller lakes bring beautiful nature to the middle of the city. Lutakko Harbour is especially popular in the summer, and Rantaraitti offers great outdoor routes.
Get together Sun 18.5 at 7 pm
Get together – a warm welcome to dinner!
Before the actual development days, we will gather on Sunday for a relaxed dinner or even evening tea.
Let us know if you are coming the night before, and we will agree on a common meeting place.

Travel to Jyväskylä by train, bus or carpool
It's easy to get to the Lutakko campus!
By bus or train, you can conveniently get to the Jyväskylä Travel Centre, which has a pedestrian bridge over the track and a direct connection to the event mecca Dynamo, the Lutakko campus. If you come by car, we recommend using the parking garages. The nearest parking garage is P-Paviljonki 1, which is easy to drive to from Rantaväylä. Street parking spaces in Lutakko are often very busy and intended for short-term parking. There are some parking spaces for Jamk on the Lutakko campus, and they have eParking.
