About us

The Ruralia Institute operates under the auspices of the Faculty of Agriculture and Forestry of the University of Helsinki and has units in Mikkeli and Seinäjoki. The institute fulfills its mission by conducting interdisciplinary research, participating in education, and developing solutions to promote entrepreneurship and well-being through networking and creating open learning environments.

Ruralia operates on both national and international levels and collaborates closely with various units of the University of Helsinki as well as other societal actors. A key form of collaboration is participation in university centers. Ruralia is active in both the Mikkeli University Consortium (MUC) and the University Consortium of Seinäjoki (UCS).
