Albedo matters for the climate and forestry can have an impact on it
A research project conducted by Aalto University found that favoring broadleaved species in boreal forestry is a climate-friendly option when considering the forest albedo. Therefore, forest management actions can directly affect forest albedo, and hence the climate, without decreasing forest productivity.
Pioneers in 3D virtualisation receive the first National Open Science Award

Courage and creativity in higher education—how could we teach that?
Answering the complex, dynamic and networked problems we face today means rethinking our traditional ways of working and building knowledge, according to a recent symposium on teaching arts and design at Aalto University.
DiCtion Ontology Makes Data Flow within a Construction Project
DiCtion, a research and development project, seeks to boost productivity through the digitalisation of construction workflows. It introduces a shared ontology, the missing link that we need to make data flow smartly between processes and various systems.
