  Welcome to the home page of the course 35E0200 Procurement and Strategic Sourcing! 

  (Updated on 23rd of Dec 2021)

  Update on mode of organizing in the light of the recent Aalto corona guidelines:

  Due to the intensification of COVID-19 pandemic, Aalto University has decided that all lectures should be organized online in Period III (for details see the e-mail from CMT on 23rd of Dec) . 

  Hence, this course is following this policy and will prepare for online mode of lecturing. 

  We seek for potential options to organize the game and workshop sessions in a hybrid mode as well as will be ready to change the mode of organizing to hybrid if the pandemic permits.

  We will announce the exact details of practicalities of online mode in the first week of January, when we will have a better estimate on the final number of participants. 

  Please follow the course announcements!

  Until then, happy holidays!
