Donation impact
Our researchers and students develop, among other things, a memory disorder detector and print wall panels from yeast mass. They reach out far beyond the campus by bringing together industry players to accelerate common good and providing policymakers with science-based solutions. Entrepreneurial young people harness ideas and research results into growth companies and seek solutions to bring, for example, biomaterial experiments to industrial scale.
What does your donation enable?
To create new multidisciplinary breakthroughs and achieve scientific discoveries, we need your support.
At Aalto, our community is building the world’s smallest radar satellites, driving a revolution in sustainable fashion, developing health-promoting technologies and digital games that improve public well-being, and finding ways to feed billions more people with fewer resources.
At our Bioinnovation Center, researchers are creating sustainable packaging materials from cellulose to replace plastics, while collaborations between building geology and ceramic art are exploring how clay could one day replace concrete.
Without donations, much of this work – the research, the experimentation, and the discoveries – simply would not happen.
Lera Nikitina, a student from UkraineThe support I received has stabilised my life significantly during this extremely uncertain time. I am extremely grateful to everyone who has made the distribution of grants possible. This support has had a life-changing impact.
In addition to research results and innovations, the university’s impact is embodied in our alumni. Companies founded by Aalto graduates already employ more than 30.000 people. This number is sure to grow, as more and more of our students see entrepreneurship as an attractive career path — and as a way to build a better world.
Outside Finland, our alumni live, work, and make an impact in more than a hundred countries worldwide. Aalto has quickly become Finland’s most international university.
Donations to the university help make all of this possible.
