Five new honorary doctors in technology at Aalto in 2024
The ceremonial conferment took place on campus in June.
Honorary Doctors' Talks 13 June 2024
Recipients of honorary doctorates at Aalto University in the field of technology will share key observations from their careers. Open to all audience, welcome!
Aalto University celebrates the exceptional careers of the five new honorary doctors in technology during the Ceremony week of 2024. Join us for the talks where the honorary doctors present key observations from their careers.
The talks are ignited with the documentary Radical Creatives (trailer):
The 1-hour documentary explores the underutilized power of radical creativity. It's a story of overcoming self-doubt by using a collective creative force. The artistically and visually unique film showcases change-makers from diverse backgrounds at a Finnish university who courageously drive towards the new and unknown.
The event is open for all audience and the talks are held in English. There will be a short time for Q&A after each speaker.
