Code of Conduct - Values into practice
The Aalto University Code of Conduct is one way of putting our values and way of working — the foundation of our community culture — into practice
Aalto University Rules of Conduct to enter into force on 1 September 2025
In September 2025, the university will adopt a new set of rules titled Aalto University Rules of Conduct, aimed at promoting a safe and accessible university environment for all. Â The rules regulate the use of the university premises and services, with emphasis on studies, research and work.
Aalto University Rules of Conduct are designed to promote a safe and accessible university environment for all Aalto community members, visitors and partners. The first-ever edition of the rules will enter into force on 1 September 2025 and has now been published in Finnish, Swedish and English.
The rules help ensure that the university premises, property and services are used primarily for study and research purposes, as well as for other university-related tasks and pre-agreed uses.
The rules, which are based on the Universities Act, the Occupational Safety and Health Act, and the Aalto University Code of Conduct, synthesise the various policies and regulations governing the use of university facilities and services. Their content and wording have been discussed in various advisory groups.
