Initially, the facilities will only be rented for events organised by Aalto University or its student organisations.

Each event must have a producer who is responsible for the practical arrangements and marketing of the event.

Marsio events aim to promote Aalto University's research, arts and activities to a wider audience outside the university community, and a wider audience can be reached through high quality live streaming and event recordings.

Marsio event spaces are best adapted for open events that welcome also walk-in guests. Events at Marsio often engage partners, either as participants or co-organisers. For internal, closed events, we encourage event organisers to primarily use other venues on campus.

The event spaces in Marsio offer a chance for hosting versatile events ranging from seminars to film screenings, open lectures to fashion shows. Aaltonians are encouraged to be open-minded and creative in the use of Marsio event spaces.

The facilities are equipped with high quality event technology, so there is no need to order av-technology from external suppliers. Marsio event packages include the spaces, AV technology and staff to operate the AV equipment.

Event organisers can ask for an offer for an event package by completing the form at the bottom of the page. Please ensure that you ask for the offer well before you event. Marsio event curator will collaborate with the technical staff of Marsio and recommend the event package to each client's needs. After receiving the offer, it is important to accept/reject it latest by the deadline mentioned in the offer.

The rental price of a Marsio to an event organiser is mainly determined by the technical requirements of the event. In addition to the use of event technology, the number of AV technicians on the day of the event and in preparation for the event is also taken into account in the pricing. The cost of using the facilities may also be affected by complex furniture and equipment setup requirements.

Research and teaching facilities of Marsio can be booked from Takeout.

All Marsio spaces are listed in ASIO.

In August 2024, a restaurant will open on the first floor of Marsio, where you can order catering for Marsio events. Event organisers can already ask for catering offers by contacting [email protected].

The restaurant has a license for servicing alcohol in the Stage, in the Event Studio, in the first floor lobby area, and in the Living Room on the third floor.

The following services are not included in the event packages:

• Event marketing and communications
• Event production and stage management services
• Editing of the event recording. The package always includes the original live recording, and detailed editing should always be ordered well in advance.
• Subtitling of the event recording. Read more about mandatory accessibility captions.
• Out-of-hours lobby services or a possible need for security services.
• Special furnishing requirements for the event spaces or possible additional furniture hire. 

Preferably arrange your closed events and team meetings in the buildings nearby and come to Marsio for lunch, visiting exhibitions and events and Aalto University Shop. All campus spaces (including Marsio spaces) are listed in ASIO. Please contact [email protected] or use the request for offer form below for any special enquiries. 

The tours are being planned, but the implementation is still under way. By having lunch at Marsio and visiting the Designs for a Cooler Planet exhibition (the exhibition is open on 6.9.-3.10.), you can already explore at least the first floor on your own. It may be more meaningful to visit the other floors of Marsio a little later, when research and teaching activities have begun to establish themselves there. We will announce on Marsio's website and in the news once the implementation of the tours has been decided.
