What can we do together?
We offer companies opportunities for collaboration in all areas of Aalto's operations, as well as possibilities for networking with researchers, teachers and our active student community. The collaboration can start with even a small project, and grow into a long-term strategic partnership. We encourage also the SMEs to become involved!
For a company, the research collaboration is most beneficial when it is fundamental, long-term and strategic. Usually, in this kind of projects the costs and productivity risks are high if the research is carried out by the company alone.
The possibilities for research collaboration extend from single research projects to long-term funding of strategic research and personnel, often including the utilization of the university’s extensive research infrastructure.
Teaching collaboration gives your organisation visibility among students, allows you to meet future talent and introduce you to the scientific community.
- Get new insights and explore alternative perspectives

The range of collaboration spans from guest lectures and real-life cases to multidisciplinary study projects and thesis assignments.
