A decision was also made to change the English name of the School of Chemical Technology to the School of Chemical Engineering.
Before the meeting, the Board discussed campus development and visited the recently opened Learning Centre, which made quite an impression on the board members. The Board also talked about ways to successfully build mutually beneficial strategic corporate partnerships, Aalto-wide joint strategic investments, and future targets with regard to educating game changers.
