HELSINKI CHALLENGE
INVESTMENT IN CREATIVE THINKING
SCIENCE PROVIDES THE BASIS FOR RADICAL INNOVATIONS. REACHING FOR THE TOP REQUIRES EXTRAORDINARY THINKING, QUESTIONING
OF THE CUSTOMARY, NEW PRACTICES AND GLOBAL ENCOUNTERS.
INVESTMENT IN COOPERATION
SOMETHING ALWAYS HAS AND WILL SPRING FROM THE ENCOUNTERS BETWEEN THE DIFFERENT SOCIETAL ACTORS:
SCIENCE, THE COMMUNITY, INDUSTRY, POLICY MAKERS, THE MEDIA, THE PUBLIC SECTOR AND ALUMNI. IT IS ELEMENTARY
FOR OUR VITALITY. THIS IS WHY WE WANT TO FURTHER INCREASE CO-OPERATION WITH DIFFERENT ACTORS.
