NESU in Finland

In Finland, NESU has expanded itself to every city that has a university with business-related studies. At the moment, these cities are Helsinki, Espoo, Turku, Tampere, Pori, Joensuu, Jyväskylä, Oulu, Mikkeli, Lappeenranta, Kuopio, and Vaasa. Each city has a NESU board or a NESU commission. NESU Finland is the umbrella organization of NESU cities in Finland.

The most visible functions around Finland are the almost weekly held sitz-parties, or academic dinner parties. Despite the name and strictly followed traditions associated with the sitz-party culture, the events are quite laid-back and rather eventful towards the end. Other NESU events organized in Finland are NESU-Dagen organized in January, Wappurundi with traveling through different cities in April and the Summer Cottage party organized in August.

If you want to participate in NESU activities, contact your local NESU organization or one of  the NESU Finland board members!

NESU Finland

NESU Finland’s mission is to coordinate the co-operation between Finnish NESU organizations. As NESU activity is currently most active in Finland, NESU Finland also helps the NESU boards of other countries revive activity in their region. Together with the NESU President and excursion team, NESU Finland has organized excursions to other Nordic countries to bridge the gap between Nordic business schools.

More about Excu

NESU Finland is led by a country representative with the support of a 5 person board elected of members of different NESU cities. Along with the board, NESU Finland has its own commission composed of the chairs of NESU boards and commissions of all the NESU cities in Finland.
