We now have the winner for the design calendar contest! The next academic year calendar will be produced based on the entry called School Nostalgia by Mirka Larjomaa. In addition to the sympathetic nature of Larjomaa’s calendar idea, the jury was particularly impressed by the approachability of the entire concept and the clarity of the layout.
AYY congratulates the winner and thanks everyone who has submitted their entry!
As usual, the calendar will be published in the autumn

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).![helsinki kiinteistö](/sites/g/files/flghsv231/files/styles/2_3_288w_125h_d/public/2024-06/Untitled%20design%20%282%29.png?h=10d202d3&itok=nqzzHvDB)
