Organising events at Aalto University
Please see up-to-date information about coronavirus and arranging events.
At Aalto University, hundreds of different events from seminars and conferences to other researcher, network and stakeholder meetings as well as exhibitions, shows and other events are arranged yearly for various target groups. The events are part of the communications and visibility of Aalto University: they introduce Aalto activities to ourselves as well as to outsiders. Anticipation and available instructions lessen the workload of the organisers as receiving information speeds up and the procedures become familiar.
Guidelines for event organizers
Events Library
The new online guide offers instructions and assets for planning and managing events at Aalto University. The shared processes for organising events at Aalto University were developed in lean workshops during autumn 2019. Events Library has been created to provide shared standards and processes for events for the entire Aalto community. The standards and step-by-step guidelines help in navigating the event management process in order to plan and execute high quality events that are always functional and influential and in line with our strategy and values.
Event network
As part of the service offered for event organisers across Aalto University an Event Support Network has been established. The purpose of the network is to share information and best practices related to event management. The network is open for everyone organizing events at Aalto University and plays a major role in the development of event related services across our organisation.
