Alum Liting Aalto: ‘I want to keep learning new technologies’ | Aalto University Liting Aalto studied Information and Service Management at Aalto University School of Business. Currently, she works as a data scientist at Elisa.

🌍 Lontoosta Brysseliin
Viime viikolla Aalto-alumnit, tutkijat ja yhteistyökumppanit kokoontuivat kahdessa Euroopan kaupungissa.
Lontoossa Aalto-alumnit liittyivät Suomen yliopistoista valmistuneiden kanssa viettämään iltaa keskustellen ja verkostoituen.

Lontoon tilaisuudessa yksi pääpuhujistamme Rasmus Vuori ilmaisi asian hyvin: luovuus on resilienssin elintärkeä voimavara. Kyky kuvitella vaihtoehtoja auttaa meitä sopeutumaan, uudistumaan ja löytämään parempia tapoja edetä.

Brysselissä Aalto-yliopiston The Pathfinders -näyttely New European Bauhaus -festivaalilla kokosi yhteisön yhteen tutustumaan tutkimusvetoisiin kiertotalouden ratkaisuihin. Vaikka vain noin 7 prosenttia maailmantaloudesta on tällä hetkellä kierrätystä, näyttelyssä korostettiin, miten tutkijat ratkovat rakentamisen, akkujen kierrätyksen ja tekstiilien esteitä.

🫶 Kaksi kaupunkia, yksi yhteisö. Muistutus siitä, että ideat kulkevat eteenpäin, kun ihmiset kokoontuvat yhteen.
Kiitos kaikille Lontoossa ja Brysselissä keskusteluihin osallistuneille.
