The most valuable treasure – memories from the 2016 Tempaus

As Tempaus is relevant again, let’s take a moment to reminisce about the previous Tempaus. Chair of Tempaus Committee 2016 and Policy Planning Director of the City of Espoo Niko Ferm wrote a blog post about what Tempaus meant to him, what was gained from it, and why every single member of the Aalto community should join Tempaus this autumn.

Government cuts put a stop to the construction of student housing

We are shocked by the recent cuts of the Finnish Government which put student housing and its construction at stake. In its session on spending limits, the Government made significant cuts to the special group investment grants for student housing construction, which makes the commencement of already planned housing projects in the capital region uncertain and complicates the housing situation for students as well as the housing activities of the Aalto University Student Union (AYY).
