In Brief
» Data Archive Moved Data Archive MovedThe Data Archive moved in July to the new Virta building of the University of Tampere. The Archive's new street address is Åkerlundinkatu 5. Also the telephone numbers of the FSD have changed. However, the postal address of the Archive and the e-mail addresses of the staff remained unchanged. The new contact information and directions have been updated on the web. More information: Centre for Gender Equality Information Employees StartedThe Centre for Gender Equality Information recruited two employees, Doctor of Political Science Sari Pikkala as Information Services Manager and Master of Theology Annukka Jamisto as Information Services Specialist. In the spring, the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health assigned the FSD to launch the Gender Equality Information service. The aim of the one-year project is to plan out and launch the Centre for Gender Equality Information. The core functions of the Centre are to gather, process and distribute information related to gender equality and gender research. It aims at serving a wide range of users: public administration, research, the media, politics, organisations, companies, and ordinary citizens. In the autumn, the main focus of the project is to build a new web portal, which is to be launched in December 2009. The new web portal will replace the Minna Web Portal for Women's Studies and Gender Equality, which has been online since 2004.
