Logopedics education began at the University of Eastern Finland in Autumn 2021, and the first speech therapists are expected to graduate in 2025. A multidisciplinary and diverse network of experts and cooperation, the Logo Network, is built around logopedics education. Welcome to explore the dimensions of our common network!

The Logo Network brings together actors from university, companies, working life and organizations and strengthens cooperation between different parties. Key forms of cooperation include clinical training periods for logopedics students, research and innovation activities, expert visits, continuing education, and multidisciplinary speech research in the laboratory. In addition, the Logo Network website maintains a knowledge base for training instructors.

The project’s activities include the development of multi-professional training clinic operations, continuing education for speech therapists, and the development and innovation of research and rehabilitation methods that apply digitalization.
