Aalto Readers' Club
We read books together, and provide a safe place to engage in conversations and exchange opinions while meeting on the Aalto campus—every 4 weeks, on Tuesday at 17:30.
This event is open to all members of the Aalto University community. Everyone is warmly welcome to join us. So let's enjoy the after-work discussions together and refreshments provided by the Aalto Sci EDI fund.
