This year's conference brought together people from diverse backgrounds and disciplines to work towards bursting the sustainability bubble: to challenge sustainability myths and find new perspectives on sustainability transformations. We hope the event offered you valuable insights and fostered opportunities for collaboration and sharing ideas.
We look forward to seeing you again at future events!
Collaboration in focus at the event
Science for Sustainability is a joint collaborative effort between Finland’s two largest universities, the University of Helsinki, and Aalto University.
The event is undergoing changes not only in its name but also in its content. Formerly known as Sustainability Science Days, the event is now being renamed Science for Sustainability.
The event doesn't want to limit itself to just being focused on sustainability sciences, as the old name implied. The goal is to bring science and research closer to other societal changemakers, including businesses, cities, and communities. Science for Sustainability aims to accelerate society's sustainability transformation in collaboration with others.
Over the course of two days, 1.-2.10. the event focused on sustainability-related research and bursting sustainability bubbles within different fields.
The first day of the event 30.9. connected the key businesses and organisations in green transition with top researchers in relevant fields through a facilitated collaboration process that begun during spring 2025. The event aimed to accelerate the green transition and to improve Finland’s competitiveness by bringing research closer to businesses.
