Eloseminaari brought the Aalto ARTS community together to discuss the future of the school

Eloseminaari, the opening event of the academic year at the School of Arts, Design and Architecture, was held at Kulttuurikasarmi event space in the centre of Helsinki. In the event the Aalto ARTS community outlined the past, present and future of the school, as part of Aalto University's living strategy principles.

"The Future of ARTS” is part of a collaborative process that has already started in 2019. It aims to create structures and culture for how Aalto ARTS can develop the school's activities in a self-directed and self-organised way.
