Helsinki Design Week is the largest design festival in the Nordic countries. The theme for 2021 is wisdom. Aalto University is one of Helsinki Design Week’s main partners.

The event also belongs to the Research-based Knowledge 2021 program, a joint initiative organised by the Ministry of Education and Culture, the Academy of Finland and the Federation of Finnish Learned Societies.

Aalto is one of the first partner's of the EU's New European Bauhaus initiative. The Bauhaus initiative connects the European Green Deal to our living spaces. It calls on all Europeans to imagine and build together a sustainable and inclusive future that is beautiful for our eyes, minds, and souls. We are also one of the Bauhaus partner events showcasing future concepts and prototypes for more sustainable future.
