Personnel newsletter
The internal newsletter for Aalto University personnel helps you stay up-to-date on matters and news of our university community - you will receive the letter biweekly by email
Updated 30 September 2025
The personnel newsletter compiles current content published on the Aalto.fi website into a news digest, which you can easily read when and where ever you are. From the letter, you can see at a glance both news and highlights common to all Aalto employees as well as current news of your own school.

The majority of the content is for Aalto community only, so please do log in with your Aalto ID. The newsletter is published and edited by Aalto University Communications.

Common content for all (Aalto Info)
We prioritize content that concerns the entire personnel or as much of it as possible and meets one of the following criteria:
- Support inclusion and well-being at work and study, build a sense of community, or provide information about the campus
- Matters related to the University's management, strategy and annual processes
- Community events, other events open to all
- Communicate about the developments in research, education and learning
- Promote the societal impact of the University and its community members
In congestion situations, we select content based on the above criteria that:
- Apply to as large a part of the personnel as possible, and there’s a reason to use the channel in terms of reach
- Include a clearly directed message or point of view for the personnel
- The matter is topical and/or has not been highlighted before
If you wish to include your content in the letter, please submit the links to the content and a proposal on a short heading, which should, preferably, include a call to action. Send your proposal no later than the Monday morning prior to the publishing date to: communications@aalto.fi.

Frequently asked questions about the personnel newsletter
The letter is sent in English for all, and you can find the link to the Finnish version from the top right. This way we can help our international staff to access both the newsletter content as well as other current content on Aalto.fi more easily.
The newsletter does not collect information about individual readers. Data is only collected on newsletter opening volumes. Information about the clicked contents is collected as part of the analytics of the Aalto.fi website. An individual user cannot be identified from the collected information.
The newsletter is sent by e-mail to one address for the whole personnel and to another one of Aalto emeriti professors. The recipient information in the addresses is automatically updated from the university's personnel information system.
