University of Eastern Finland

University of Eastern Finland (UEF) is a completely different university from the University of Tours. UEF is a Finnish public university that was established in 2010 through the merger of two universities: the University of Joensuu and the University of Kuopio. It is located in the cities of Joensuu and Kuopio in Eastern Finland, hence the name. UEF is organized into four faculties: the Faculty of Health Sciences, the Faculty of Science and Forestry, the Faculty of Social Sciences and Business Studies, and the Philosophical Faculty. It offers a wide range of undergraduate and graduate programs in various fields such as medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, natural sciences, social sciences, humanities, and business. Like the University of Tours, UEF is also known for its research activities, with several research centers and institutes focusing on topics such as health, environment, technology, and social sciences. It is a member of several international research networks and alliances, including the European University Association (EUA) and the Utrecht Network.
