I am Peppi Taalas (Ms.) holding a PhD and the title of docent. I work in the rectorate in the area of strategic development of education and as the director of Centre for Multilingual Academic Communication at University of Jyväskylä, Finland. My current research interests are educational and organisational change processes on both policy and practical levels, including change in learning and teaching cultures, staff development and teacher roles and attitudes in digitally-enhanced (language) learning settings. I have been involved in many national and international research and development projects on the knowledge society, teaching innovation and the future of education.
