Heartfelt thanks to all the donors to the DIEM Prodeko fund for your support!
The campaign for the Prodeko Fund of Industrial Engineering and Management which started in 2023, attracted a lot of interest, and was continued until the summer of 2024. A total of 32 founding donors contributed to the fund. Founding donors are those who donated at least €10,000 during the campaign.
Donations to the fund have a significant impact on the development of teaching, research, and students’ working life skills in the field. The fund helps the university implement activities and projects for which basic funding is not sufficient.
In 2024, we also received donations to the fund that were dedicated to supporting professor Esa Saarinen’s legacy. Esa inspired numerous students, leaders, entrepreneurs, artists and individuals from all walks of life to think better, to know themselves better and to live better during the years that he worked with us here at the department. Donations help us continue Esa’s work and maintain the spirit he created.
The Prodeko Guild turns 60 next year, and I’m looking forward to celebrating the anniversary with you dear donors and with the entire Prodeko community!
