Länsi-Uusimaa Rescue Department as a research subject
Are you working on a thesis project? Or would you like to collect research material from the Rescue Department?
You need a research permit to be able to conduct research related to the operations, premises, training ground or staff of the Länsi-Uusimaa Rescue Department.
A research permit is required when the research or investigation is conducted based on the interests of a researcher / research institute external to the Länsi-Uusimaa Rescue Department. This also applies to theses written for universities.
When is a research permit required?
You will need a research permit if you mention the institution of the Länsi-Uusimaa Rescue Department as a source in your research material.
You do not need a permit for conducting individual interviews (the person appears in the results under their own name), but you will need one for an interview study.

The Rescue Department publishes approved research permit applications internally, and they will be available to the personnel until the study is completed.
