Join the laid-back lunch discussions with President Ilkka Niemelä
President Ilkka Niemelä and other members of Aalto leadership host regular lunch discussions once a month on Fridays.
First meeting was organized on Friday 22 September in the School of Business, and the concept was received well.
Spaces for multidisciplinary meet-ups were discussed among other topics, one example being the Aalto research platforms and newly established Sustainability Hub.
Join the next session - discuss, ask, propose or comment over a cup of coffee! Coffee offered, but no-host lunch.
The next meeting will be on Friday October 13 at noon in Otaniemi (place tbc).
