HUMANE Annual Conference

Performance Unleashed: Co-creating 

High Value for Stakeholders

Helsinki, 4 to 6 June 2024 

Hosted jointly by Aalto University, the University of Helsinki and the University of the Arts Helsinki

Our 2025 Annual Conference will explore strategies and practices to enhance institutional performance through close engagement with internal and external stakeholders.  In today’s rapidly evolving landscape, higher education institutions are facing many challenges to balance the needs of students, faculty, staff, their communities and funders. 

The conference will bring together thought leaders, practitioners, and innovators to share insights and actionable solutions aimed at fostering collaboration and driving excellence in higher education. Keynote presentations and interactive workshops will focus on:

• Approaches to Open Innovation and Open Science: Discover cutting-edge approaches and best practices to improve performance in educational and research outcomes
• Stakeholder Engagement: Learn about effective ways to build strong relationships with diverse stakeholder groups and align their interests with institutional goals
• Impact: Explore how institutions can balance performance with social responsibility and long-term sustainability in safe campus environments

The three HUMANE member universities of Helsinki (Aalto University, the University of Helsinki and the University of the Arts Helsinki) will be our hosts. As a bursting place for innovation, the smart city of Helsinki is the ideal place to address our theme.It is also the world’s most sustainable destination. 

Save the dates!  The programme will be available here early 2025, but you can already register here.
