UH is listing future talents – nominate names for the 30 under 30 list

(Translated with ChatGPT)

In February 2025, the University of Helsinki will host a new biennial stakeholder event that brings together researchers, policymakers, business leaders, and future talents. The event will serve as a forum for discussions on key issues critical to Finland’s future, with varying thematic focuses.

As part of this new event, a list of 30 promising young people under 30 will be unveiled. The selected young individuals will be invited to participate in the event.

In addition to those with exceptional academic achievements, the list aims to include individuals who have made an impact in other ways, with a positive influence on their community or society at large. The list will feature young people both within the University of Helsinki and outside the academic world.

The university seeks nominations from a wide range of fields, including young researchers and students, and representatives from areas such as culture, non-profit organizations, business, startups, and more traditional professions like education and journalism.

You can nominate individuals born in 1995 or later. The selection criteria emphasize activity, curiosity, and the ability to bring a fresh perspective to societal discussions.

Nominations must be submitted by September 26, along with a brief explanation.

Link to the nomination form. (The form is in Finnish, but entries can also be submitted in English. Include the name & faculty of the person your proposing, along with short reasonings. In field 2, you can propose people from outside the University.)
