Mirella Harri

I work as a Counsellor of Evaluation in higher education evaluations. My responsibilities at FINEEC have primarily concerned the audits of HEIs. I also act as the contact person for education in Swedish (especially higher education).

I am the process manager for audits, and have participated as project manager in numerous audits of higher education institutions (HEIs) both in Finland and abroad. I was also project manager in charge of the planning of fourth cycle audit framework for HEIs (2025–2030). As a FINEEC representative, I have also taken part in several international projects, most recently the Erasmus+ project Quality Assurance Fit for the Future.

I am a member of FINEEC’s Strategic Group III, which focuses on the continuous improvement of the quality of education and early childhood education.
