During his tenure, the School has developed significantly in many respects, including an increase in external funding leading to a stable financial situation. The School's international relations and profile have deepened and strengthened. In addition, Auvinen has brought a strong sense of dialogue and community into his leadership.
"My current term of office was marked by both a pandemic and a war, both of which had a significant impact on the School's capacities. I am therefore particularly pleased to continue as Dean of the School of Arts, Design and Architecture for the next five years. Now we can broaden our perspectives on the future of the School. As part of the Aalto community, Aalto ARTS contributes to the success of the University and in many ways shows the way forward," says Tuomas Auvinen.
