The project was officially opened on 30 April 2015 in the department common room at Metsätalo, combining the opening with traditional Vappu festivities (Finnish First of May celebrations typically begin the evening before). Our guests were asked to help us come up with an acronym for the project. Many excellent suggestions were made, including Langreal, Reach, Regula and Regina and of course, the acronym we ended up adopting, LaRA.
