University of Helsinki
Ranked in the top 1% of the world's universities. Conducting pioneering research and sharing knowledge since 1640 - For the World.
ROOTED IN FINLAND: MAKING AN IMPACT ON THE WORLD
Since our founding in 1640, the University of Helsinki has inspired Finland to build a fair and equal society that ranks amongst the best internationally in terms of the environment, education, healthcare, and – of course – happiness.
During the years, our academic community has grown into 40 000 people scattered into 11 faculties on four campuses. Now, our research and education set global benchmarks, and we believe that the search for new knowledge and boundary-breaking research can lead to solutions that have a real, global impact on the future.
Our strategic plan currently emphasises four research themes: wellbeing for humans and our environment, a humane and fair world, a sustainable future for our planet, and the possibilities that limitless curiosity opens up – a universe of ideas and opportunities.
We know that by joining forces with others we can have an impact much bigger than the sum of our parts – and make brilliant things happen - for the world.
We have a wide range of fundraising causes for you to choose from. While we have highlighted some of our causes here, you can find more information about all of our fundraising causes on our website: www.helsinki.fi/en/support-us or contact us directly at donate@helsinki.fi.
