Aaltonians are welcome to join any of these 'mix and match' sessions without registration.

Another highlight of the programme will be Aalto Lab Visits. These sessions will offer a window and guided tours inºÚÁÏ꿉۪s research and innovation infrastructures through presentations on key facilities such as the Metsähovi Radio Observatory, Science-IT research infrastructure, Aalto Ice Tank, and the work of Research Software Engineers. 

Aaltonians are welcome to attend the opening on Tuesday, 7 October and closing on Thursday 9 October. No registration is needed.
