Aalto WiT Programme
Bridging capacities to advance resilience of human settlements
Organised by World in Transition Research Lab (WiTLAB) at Aalto University, the 5-month transdisciplinary WiT Programme is a diploma programme designed to empower participants to advance the resilience of human settlements in the Global Majority context. By partnering with international organisations and local communities, we blend scientific methodologies with real-life experiences in humanitarian architecture, emergency response, and sustainable development.
We are calling all professionals and academics in architecture, design, engineering, business, and social sciences for an opportunity to gain complementary knowledge and expand your horizons through interdisciplinary collaboration in the field. Our three main themes, Sustainable Built Environment, Cultural Heritage and Development, and Humanitarian Responses, will immerse you in critical topics shaping our world today.
