Aalto 10-Year Party Aalto University has brought together science, art, technology, and business at the Otaniemi campus and is now one of the world’s leading universities in these key areas. In January 2020, Aalto celebrated its 10th anniversary. Since Aalto Design Factory is the first physical manifestation of Aalto and the forerunner of interdisciplinary education, our community had a strong presence at Dipoli where the festivities were organized. ADF showroom was established on the 2nd floor of Dipoli where projects and prototypes from past years were showcased. Students and staff together promoted ADF’s interdisciplinary activities and described how we cherish the innovation culture. The highlight of the day was the moment when KU Leuven signed the membership agreement with ADF and became the 30th member for Design Factory Global Network. This ceremony was accompanied by Retuperän WPK orchestra, followed by raising a toast for the new member of the network. The party was as warm, diverse, and extraordinary as the Aalto community is at its best.
