Step inside and immerse yourself in science and art at events and exhibitions, attend lectures, have a cup of coffee or pop into the Aalto University Shop.

Over 100 000 alumni in more than 80 countries
Aalto University offers its alumni diverse opportunities for lifewide learning and networking.
Donations have a far-reaching impact
‘Donations are important for the university in an increasingly tight economic climate. Every euro donated helps Aalto to succeed and develop. This autumn, we will launch a fundraising campaign covering all disciplines at the university. We will also continue to support students who have fled Ukraine. In addition to the free study rights, students also need financial support for their daily lives in a foreign country where they have no support networks.
The value of your donation is particularly high right now, as the university will add an additional 20 percent as matching to all donations made in 2024. Thank you to all current and future donors – together we are stronger.’
