Finland's largest sustainability-related science event is now Science for Sustainability

Finland’s biggest sustainability research event is now Science for Sustainability! 

In September, Science for Sustainability will bring together science, innovation and change makers from diverse fields.

The theme for the event is Bursting the Sustainability Bubble which aims to challenge sustainability myths and break down the barriers between disciplines and industries. The goal: to find solutions that pace up the sustainability transition.

Science for Sustainability is a joint collaborative effort between Finland’s two largest universities, the University of Helsinki, and Aalto University. 

The event will be held in the Helsinki region 30.9.-2.10.2025.

Collaboration in Focus at the Event

The event is undergoing changes not only in its name but also in its content. Formerly known as Sustainability Science Days, the event is now being renamed Science for Sustainability.

The event doesn't want to limit itself to just being focused on sustainability sciences, as the old name implied. The goal is to bring science and research closer to other societal changemakers, including businesses, cities, and communities. Science for Sustainability aims to accelerate society's sustainability transformation in collaboration with others.

Over the course of two days, the event will focus on sustainability-related research, with one day dedicated to addressing sustainability challenges through collaboration with businesses, organizations, and researchers.

The registration for the event will open in spring 2025.
