Matchmaking early-career academics

As part of the event, early-career academics from Aalto University will welcome peers from other Unite! universities fostering collaboration in research and teaching. Each Aalto host will engage with a small group of visiting participants from their field, creating opportunities to exchange ideas, build networks, and explore potential future projects. Each host will organise a two and a half day programme during 7–9 October 2025.The closing session will highlight a panel discussion by the hosts, reflecting on the matchmaking outcomes and future collaborations. Meet the Aalto hosts!
