Find our doctoral community at Aalto Social

Join the group:
The purpose of the group is to offer a channel for sharing information and discussing issues important for doctoral students and doctoral researchers.
You can use Aalto Social at or via Teams.
The main information channels for current issues for doctoral students continue to be the monthly Doctoral education newsletter and the news and events posting at the Doctoral education hub.
Aalto Social is Aalto University’s internal social media, a place for our community to meet and discuss freely. Aalto Social will take shape to be such as we together make it. Please, take a look at the common playrules before jumping into discussions – you can find them in the (> Community guidelines).
Aalto Social, internal social media
