The fourth ISTUS meeting was held in Tampere, Finland on 17th
and 18th JUNE 2012. Our hosts from TAMK University of applied
sciences took care of us in a brilliant way!
The first day of the meeting was completely dedicated to brainstorming and
sharing ideas for the development of further European cooperations between the
partners. The team has worked on different proposals to be presented in the
next LLP call and has held very interesting discussions on the topic of social
media. In particular, three focus groups were formed in order to elaborate the
three previous proposals about mobile learning, evaluation and video tutorials.

In the evening we had 3 hours boat trip on lake enjoing coming into contact
with real finnish environment and culture. We all enjoyed the nature and
wonderful light, the dinner was also memorable! Three brave project members had
a sauna on the boat and bathed in the lake; now they can say: “we have been to Finland!!”
The second day started with a presentation of the results of the interviews
carried out in each country and some reflections on the most interesting
findings. The group also decided how to analyse the data and present it in an
aggregated way. Some common issues emerged from various presentations of the
different institutions, anticipating what could be confirmed by a thorough
analysis of the data.
Dissemination and evaluation of the project were also discussed together
with the project interim report.
The partners then visited “Demola”, an interesting applied research centre connected to the Tampere TAMK, which allows students to connect to the real labour market by carrying out different prototype projects required by companies who need their service.

Decisions were then taken on how to proceed until our next meeting to be
held in Italy in October 2012.
