In this event, we are committed to Aalto University’s principles for a safer space.
Welcome to Otaniemi, Jokeri Light Rail! The construction of the Jokeri light rail line has progressed to technical test runs. Otaniemi's turn is on 1 March 2023.
*The procession has been cancelled due to new schedule. Program now between 11.00 and 12.30.*
We will celebrate this day with a procession led by Aalto University's management team and Aalto University Student Union (AYY) board members, starting from Maarintie 8, heading in the direction of Keilaniemi. The departure time of the procession will be 12-12.15, depending on the light rail's schedule.
The procession follows Jokeri Light Rail's tracks, but via pedestrians and cyclists' routes. The light rail stops at the Harald Herlin Learning Centre from 12.30 to 13.30, when you can get a closer look at it - or take a selfie with it, if you want! You can't get inside during the technical testing.
You can join the procession right from the start or hop in along the way. The entire campus community is welcome to come and greet Jokeri Light Rail.
Retuperän WBK will provide the celebratory sounds for the welcoming procession. You can also come and meet Manta’s cap at AYY’s tent.
There is also vegan hot chocolate for the first 100.
Spot the Jokeri Light Rail on the Otaniemi campus!
The technical test runs of the Jokeri Light Rail line will start on the Otaniemi area at 1st March 2023.
A! Walk
A! Walks is a summer course centered around walking-based learning, exploring Otaniemi campus and its surrounding urban–natural spaces. Rather than standalone lectures or experiments, the program is designed as a curated sequence of sensory, interdisciplinary walks, guiding participants toward experiences in coexistence, awareness, action, and futures. If successful, A! Walks may be continued during the regular semester.
12th Science Factory: TMS–EEG Summer School and Workshop
The Department of Neuroscience and Biomedical Engineering at Aalto University School of Science will organize the 12th Science Factory: TMS–EEG Summer School and Workshop, on May 23th – 28th, 2026. The main venue this year is Hotel Nuuksio at the beautiful Nuuksio National Park in rural Espoo, Finland. Science Factory gives researchers starting out in the field of TMS–EEG an opportunity to deepen their understanding and network with top researchers within the international TMS–EEG community.
