Hyvä Farmasian Opettajien ja Tutkijoiden yhdistyksen jäsen,
yhdistyksen hallitus on päättänyt 25.5.2021 pidetyssä hallituksen kokouk-
sessa esittää Farmasian Opettajien ja Tutkijoiden yhdistyksen (FOTY ry)
lopettamista. Syynä esitykselle ovat sekä jäsenten alati laskeva kiinnostus
yhdistyksen vapaa-ajan toimintaa kohtaan että yhdistyksen julkaisutoimin-
nan, ja näin ollen päätulonlähteen, loppuminen. Toiminnan loppuessa hal-
litus esittää yhdistyksen jäljellä olevia varoja lahjoitettavaksi Helsingin Yli-
opiston Farmasian Kestävän Kehityksen rahastoon.
Yhdistyksen lopettaminen aloitetaan kutsumalla koolle kaikkien jäsenten
yleiskokous 10.9.2021 klo 16. Vallitsevan koronatilanteen vuoksi kokous
pyritään järjestämään etäyhteydellä, mutta tämän ollessa mahdotonta on
kokoukseen mahdollista osallistua myös paikan päällä. Kokoontumisrajoi-
tukset mahdollistavat 25 hengen kokoontumisen kerrallaan, joten haluk-
kuudesta fyysiseen kokoukseen saapumisesta pyydetään ilmoittamaan hal-
litukselle osoitteeseen foty.hallitus@gmail.com viimeistään 3.9.2021 klo
16.

Aika: 10.9.2021 klo. 16.00
Paikka:

Dear member of The Association of Pharmacy Teachers and Researchers
(FOTY),
the current board has decided in a meeting held on 25.5.2021 to propose
the start of the termination proceedings of The Association of Pharmacy
Teachers and Researchers (FOTY). The reasons for the proposal are both
the persistent decline of member interest towards the organised activities
and the end of the main source of income for the association, the publish-
ing activities in the Faculty of Pharmacy at University of Helsinki. Should
the association be terminated the current board proposes that the remain-
ing funds of the association are donated towards the Fund Supporting the
Professorship in Sustainable Development in Pharmacy at the University of
Helsinki.
The proceedings to terminate the association start with calling all members
into a general assembly held on 10.9.2021 at 4 pm. Due to the coronavirus-
situation the assembly is to be held remotely, but should this be impossible
for certain members a possibility for a physical meeting will be organised.
According to University of Helsinki’s guidelines the maximum amount of
participants for this assembly is 25 people, so we kindly ask you to inform
about your interest to attend the meeting physically to foty.hallitus@
gmail.com on 3.9.2021 at 4 pm the latest.

Time: 10.9.2021, 4 pm.
Place:
https://helsinki.zoom.us/j/69667059582?pwd=YTQyNklFSVBFZFdOYXJJc3FCd0RSUT09
and a physical meeting room announced at a later date (Helsingin Yliopisto,
Viikinkaari 5)
Invitees: All members of the association

Members of FOTY are invited to apply for grants for participating at remote/virtual congresses, corresponding scientific meetings or online courses and events.

The recipient of the grant commits to giving a short freeformed report of how the travel grant was used within 3 months after the trip. If complete funding is provided from elsewhere, if the grant from FOTY is not used completely or is used for some other purpose or if original receipts cannot be delivered to the association, the grant or the remaining part of it has to be returned to the association.

Membership of FOTY is a requirement for receiving the grant.

Dear members of FOTY,

due to the current situation of the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent social distancing and cancellation of congresses and corresponding scientific meetings the FOTY board has decided to move the annual grant application period to autumn 2020. As social gatherings also are to be avoided, the annual FOTY Spring event has also unfortunately been cancelled.

Further information will follow after the summer, we sincerely hope the situation improves.

Stay healthy and safe,

FOTY Board  2020
