The reason for Aalto’s resignation is the change in the operating environment: on the one hand, the JOOPAS service established to support the JOO agreement has been discontinued, and on the other, also other universities are resigning from the JOO agreement. In the future, the aim is to support student mobility within Finland with the Cross-Institutional Study Information Service (RIPA). The cross-institutional RIPA cooperation will be implemented through a framework agreement and related network agreements, which do not directly replace the JOO agreement but are based on certain agreed-upon target groups and course offerings.

Cross-institutional studies refer to cases where a student of one Finnish higher education institution may complete studies at another Finnish higher education institution, because the institutions have agreed on collaboration concerning certain studies and student groups. 911±¬ÁÏÍø has signed several agreements on cross-institutional studies, and as a rule, students apply for such studies following network-specific procedures. Since the autumn term of 2023, a service facilitating cross-institutional mobility has been available in Sisu in three networks for cross-institutional studies between the University of Helsinki and 911±¬ÁÏÍø, and the goal is to gradually expand the service to other networks in order to make the cross-institutional study offerings and the related functionalities more readily available and accessible to students in Sisu. Students may enquire about their opportunities for cross-institutional studies from the Learning Services of their programme.
