The year 2024 is Tempaus year
This year, Tempaus will be arranged after an eight-year break. Tempaus harnesses the collective power of students to inform the public about issues that students consider important and topical. More information on the theme and implementation of this year’s Tempaus will be published during the spring.
The origins of Tempaus trace back as far as a hundred years into technical student culture. Similar activities have historically been arranged in other fields of study as well. Tempaus can take almost any form. The latest Tempaus was held in 2016, when the goal was to raise the importance of basic education to the national debate. Over the course of one week, students visited nearly 1,500 Finnish primary schools.
Tempaus 2024 is aimed at the entire Aalto community, regardless of the year or field of study.
Tempaus is coordinated by Aalto University Student Union’s Tempaus Committee, which was recruited through an open call for applications at the end of 2023. Tempaus Committee consists of: Niina Tapanainen (Tempaus Chief, Chair), Juha Malinen (Vice Chair), Ilkka Törrönen (Advocacy), Jani Anttila (Corporate Relations), Leevi Kosonen (Corporate Relations), Senja Santala (Events), Eeti Ahola (Communications), Ville Mansikkaniemi (Marketing), with mandate positions held by Tero Karesniemi and Oona Sorala (KY), Vilma Ikola (Teekkari Section) and Kathleen Lindgren (TOKYO).

The proposal for an overall reform of student financial aid is disappointing
Aalto University Student Union (AYY) made a statement on the legislative proposal of the Ministry of Education and Culture concerning the comprehensive reform of student financial aid.

A promise of free education is not enough
The Ministry of Education and Culture has published a vision for higher education and research for 2040, which is intended to guide the direction of Finland's higher education policy. Increasing the number of university graduates in the young age group to 60 per cent, as proposed by the vision, requires investments and ambition from decision-makers. In this blog, Totti Korpua, AYY’s Advocacy Specialist, discusses the significance of the vision for students.
