Membership in the Finnish Union of University Professors is open to university professors (including tenure track assistant/associate professors) as well as researchers and teachers who hold a comparable position. Research professors employed at state scientific institutes are likewise eligible to join.

How to join

Fill out the membership application form thoroughly and send it.

Print out and fill a proxy for the collection of membership fees. The proxy authorises your employer to deduct the Finnish Union of University Professors membership fee directly from your salary.

Scan your proxy and send it encrypted (for further instructions on Securemail, see here) to mia.rikala (at) professoriliitto.fi.

The membership form also asks about membership in the unemployment fund. The unemployment fund for the Finnish Union of University Professors is the Unemployment Fund for Education and Research (formerly Teachers’ Unemployment Fund). The membership fee for the Unemployment Fund is included in the Union membership fee. Please indicate in the membership form if you are already a member of the Unemployment Fund for Education and Research.
