What are the best places at our campus for chance encounters and meetings? Which places do you show to visitors? Is there a spot you’re proud of that we could highlight more?

Aalto University’s campus in 2050 will be an open, inspiring and unique environment where all visitors can easily access learning, research and our multidisciplinary community.

Pin your ideas on the map by 3 July 2026*

Tell us what you consider most important on the campus. You can pin highlights and key places for research directly on the open map. 

Where is the best place to meet fellow Aalto community members and partners? You can also describe the three things that matter most to you on campus, and rate our campus’s strengths and priority areas.
