Programme
Theme 1: The new paradigm in universities
There is an ongoing transformation in Higher Education. Some of the changes are driven by technology: Massive Open On-Line Courses (MOOCs) are changing the learning paradigm. Cloud technologies are making old and new services available in an unprecedented way. There is also a change in the overall environment: Universities need to collaborate to save costs, but there is also an increasing competition over the best researchers and students worldwide.
The role of European institutions and organizations is changing, and more agile and effective co-operation will be needed to be able to respond to the international competition.
Theme 2: Societal impact of research and corporate co-operation
There is an increasing need to link universities to the outside society. We need to explore ways to improve the co-operation between universities and enterprises. What does the industry expect from universities, and how do we combine the needs of the industry, universities, and the society in general? Technology industries provide a prime example of a long and successful co-operation, but can these models be extended to other industries?

Tour to Soumenlinna
Maritime fortress Suomenlinna
Suomenlinna is a historical maritime fortress and one of Finland’s most popular sights. It attracts more than 700,000 visitors every year.
Suomenlinna has something for everyone – walls, cannons, tunnels, a submarine, museums, cafés, restaurants and even a brewery!
Many find the 15-minute ferry crossing to the fortress the most enjoyable part of the visit. It offers you a unique chance to see and photograph Helsinki from the sea.
The fortress is one of seven Unesco World Heritage sites in Finland.
History
The fortress was built in the 18th century to fortify defences at the eastern part of the Swedish Empire. After the fortress fell under Russian rule at the beginning of the 19th century, its role was to guard the shipping channels to St. Petersburg.
The Swedish maritime fortress helped Helsinki to grow into a significant city which became the capital of Finland in 1812 when the country was an autonomous grand duchy within the Russian Empire.
Nature
The fortress was built on virtually barren islands. Today, nature in Suomenlinna is extremely diverse. The scenery ranges from parks, yards and herb gardens to natural beaches, wild meadows and earth-filled sandbanks. The islands are surrounded by sea and bordered by cliffs and sandbanks.
The tour includes a return ferry ride from the Market Square to Suomenlinna fortress island (duration 15-20mins). It also includes a guided walking tour with a short film about the history of Suomenlinna-fortress “Experience Suomenlinna” and a coffee break in one of the cafeterias of the island.
