What if retirement homes were replaced with grandma’s cottage? New article and video series begins
The stories, pictures and videos from the ‘What if...?’ series present seventeen research, art and teaching projects from different parts of Aalto University that are ambitious, impactful and bold.

But what if every student had their own well-being coach? And what if cows all over the world ate Finnish wood?
Find out about the projects and the people behind them at . We also publish a new video every week in Aalto’s social media channels – follow them on , , and , with hashtag #whatif. Enjoy and share!
