More about Hilma

The idea for Hilma was initiated in 2001 by professor Aili Nenola of the University of Helsinki. Hilma includes eight universities: the Universities of Helsinki, Joensuu, Jyväskylä, Lapland, Tampere, Turku and Oulu as well as Åbo Akademi.

Hilmas goal is to ensure cooperation in women’s studies on the national level. Hilma organises and arranges both traditional and virtual courses. It is involved in planning and organising national Doctoral Studies together with the Gender System Graduate School, as well as the cooperation between local Master Programmes.

In 2006 the Gender System Graduate School is organizing six international PhD-courses and conferences together with the women’s studies units in Finnish universities. These courses and conferences are open to all PhD-students and researchers.

Hilma will also organize further education for teachers in the field: education of feminist university-pedagogy will be developed. Hilma is building also international networks.

Hilma gets her funding from the Finnish Ministry of Education and is coordinated by the University of Helsinki.
