Designs for a Cooler Planet: Invisible
6 Sept – 6 Oct, 2023

This year we are exploring the Invisible – what don’t we see even though we should? 

Aalto researchers and students invite everyone to the Otaniemi campus to get to know more than 20 research and study projects. 

The five-week long open festival showcases research-based experimental and creative projects, samples and prototypes that have the potential to transform the way we see, think and live.

Check out the entire festival programme here.
