The year 2024 is Tempaus year
This year, Tempaus will be arranged after an eight-year break. Tempaus harnesses the collective power of students to inform the public about issues that students consider important and topical. More information on the theme and implementation of this year’s Tempaus will be published during the spring.
The origins of Tempaus trace back as far as a hundred years into technical student culture. Similar activities have historically been arranged in other fields of study as well. Tempaus can take almost any form. The latest Tempaus was held in 2016, when the goal was to raise the importance of basic education to the national debate. Over the course of one week, students visited nearly 1,500 Finnish primary schools.
Tempaus 2024 is aimed at the entire Aalto community, regardless of the year or field of study.
Tempaus is coordinated by Aalto University Student Union’s Tempaus Committee, which was recruited through an open call for applications at the end of 2023. Tempaus Committee consists of: Niina Tapanainen (Tempaus Chief, Chair), Juha Malinen (Vice Chair), Ilkka Törrönen (Advocacy), Jani Anttila (Corporate Relations), Leevi Kosonen (Corporate Relations), Senja Santala (Events), Eeti Ahola (Communications), Ville Mansikkaniemi (Marketing), with mandate positions held by Tero Karesniemi and Oona Sorala (KY), Vilma Ikola (Teekkari Section) and Kathleen Lindgren (TOKYO).

Tempaus – harnessing community for advocacy work
This autumn, Aalto University Student Union will organise Tempaus after a break of several years. Kaikkien käsien jälki Tempaus (“A Collective Handprint”) takes place on the hundredth anniversary of the engineer with a sturdy beard, a mythical figure that supervises the actions of engineering students. In his article, Juuso Määttä delves into the history of Tempaus.
Government cuts put a stop to the construction of student housing
We are shocked by the recent cuts of the Finnish Government which put student housing and its construction at stake. In its session on spending limits, the Government made significant cuts to the special group investment grants for student housing construction, which makes the commencement of already planned housing projects in the capital region uncertain and complicates the housing situation for students as well as the housing activities of the Aalto University Student Union (AYY).
Changes to deposits in the autumn
There will be changes to the deposit policy. In the future, deposits will not be collected from all tenants, but only in certain situations.
