Theseus.fi – the publications of the Universities of Applied Sciences all at one address
The theses of the Finnish Universities of Applied Sciences can now all be found at just one address http://www.theseus.fi/en/. Theseus offers these publications for anyone to read.
The students themselves upload their work and accept the electronic terms of use, in which they grant their University of Applied Science the right to publish their work.
It is possible to use a Creative Commons licence – a copyright system that was developed for online environments – at Theseus. Creative Commons enables the author to share their work online under terms that they can specify themselves.
