Events Library

This site provides guidelines and assets for planning and managing events at Aalto University. Events Library shares standards and processes for events organisers throughout the entire Aalto community.

At Aalto University, an event is a important tool for communication and collaboration representing a diverse community and creating a unique experience. With over 700 events annually, it is crucial that the various events at the university are organised according to common standards. These standards help us create events that are functional and influential and in line with Aalto University’s strategy, values and sustainability guidelines.

The production and management of events always requires tasks to be solved creatively and flexibly. The guidelines and checklists provided in the Events Library will help you navigate through the event management process in order to plan and execute high quality events.
