Innovation at the crossroads of science, technology and design
Located in Espoo, just outside Helsinki, Aalto University is one of Northern Europe’s leading multidisciplinary universities. Founded through the merger of three major Finnish institutions in technology, economics, and arts and design, Aalto was created to foster collaboration across disciplines and to drive innovation that addresses global challenges.
Set on the Otaniemi campus, surrounded by Nordic nature and modern architecture, Aalto provides a vibrant academic environment where research excellence meets entrepreneurial spirit. The campus is home to cutting-edge laboratories, start-ups, and research centers, making it an ideal setting for scientific exchange and networking.
Espoo and the greater Helsinki region combine high-tech innovation with access to forests, coastline, and the Baltic Sea. Visitors can enjoy clean air, beautiful waterfronts, Nordic cuisine, and a dynamic cultural scene — all within easy reach of the campus.
Finland is internationally recognised for its leadership in sustainability and renewable energy research. Aalto University plays a key role in advancing wind energy, energy systems integration, and sustainable technologies, making it a fitting venue for the EAWE PhD Seminar.
In addition to its strong academic profile, Aalto University offers an inspiring and collaborative atmosphere that encourages open discussion and interdisciplinary exchange — creating the perfect setting for PhD candidates and early-career researchers to connect, share ideas, and shape the future of wind energy research together.
