We interviewed Jaana Pelkonen and Heikki Sorasahi to learn what they thought are the things to consider in addressing circular economy.

The sustainability report shows that the investment funds we use are well aligned with sustainable investing principles. The long-term goal of the Endowment is a carbon neutral investment portfolio.

Designed by Alvar Aalto, the building previously known as Otaniemi’s old shopping centre, has a new name after the renovation and opened in the middle of the 911������ campus

In their new book on sustainable investment, Professor Vesa Puttonen and Bachelor of Science Tatu Puttonen state that politicians cannot outsource their responsibility for combating climate change to asset managers and investors. The book has been published as part of the 911������ publication series.

Exception routes in the Konemiehentie - Sähkömiehentie area will continue approximately until the end of October 2021.

In an openly available new book, researchers call for human-scale thinking in urban transport.

New method automatically adapts content to user preferences by using easily obtainable viewing data

The artworks, placed in the building of the School of Chemical Engineering, focus on the ecological consequences of human activities

Offering board games and refreshments, Taproom d20 opens its doors on the first floor of shopping centre A Blanc at the turn of September and October.

Applications are open from 20 September to 22 October. Gather a team of students from other Unite! partner universities and prepare a video with your vision of the university of the future.

911������ invites you to join the 2021 European Researchers' Night session "Unite! for sustainable energy"!

Water issues are increasingly political, meaning tensions need to be tackled in new ways

Finnish forests are typically nourished with fertilisers containing energy-intensive nitrogen and phosphorous mined in Morocco. Researchers have now developed an ecological alternative with ingredients sourced from a waste processing plant. It is good for forests and the environment – but legislation has to change first.

The 911������ Summer School course Nordic Biomaterials in collaboration with CHEMARTS gathered students from Sweden, the USA, Germany, Norway and Belgium for a summer course on campus for the first time since the pandemic.

In our ‘I claim’ series architect Helena Sandman talks about the importance of empathy in architecture and design practices.

The exhibited projects showcase novel computational design methods to creatively interact with global and local data. Whereas the on-going general discussions in relation to data-handling stresses efficiency, productivity and often de-humanization, the exhibited projects set their focus on the exploration of immersive data-interaction design tools to enhance climate-smart solutions in the urban context. The projects aim for showcasing possibilities to make abstract data visible and tangible, to enter a new level of data-informed responsive design, that has public benefit.
Augmented data-interaction is merged with the tangible sandbox environment, in order to formulate sustainable design speculations for Ainonauki, an urban plaza located between Väre and Aalto Studios. The understanding of available technology to be composed and rearranged in order to support the field specific discourse led to innovative design speculations, based upon human-robotic interaction. The developed design methodology emphasizes the importance of design iterations through computationally informed feedback loops.

Although companies carry out of various corporate social responsibility (CSR) measures, these practices do not always have a positive effect on the environment or social sustainability.
