The future rarely turns out the way we plan. Often, it turns out even better.
The world is changeable, uncertain and complex. Science and technology are not alone the answer to the largescale societal challenges that lie ahead. New findings need to be translated into efficient long-term solutions – for that we need humans as a driving force. Smart innovations that are tested and flexibly adjusted to sustain rapid change. For a quarter of century, Arcada has developed competencies essential to society and educated experts for the future. We create concrete knowledge in an abstract world.
Celebrating a quarter of century
We are celebrating Arcada's 25th anniversary by launching a fundraising campaign. The purpose of the campaign is to raise funds to support the acquisition of digital solutions that create innovative, inclusive and inspiring learning and research environments.
Social relevance
We educate experts for the future in areas essential to society - healthcare and welfare, business, energy and materials technology as well as culture and media. Through our programmes and socially relevant research, we ensure that high-quality services and experts are available also in Swedish in Finland - both now and in the future.
Purpose of campaign
In order for us to continue to be able to offer high-quality education and conduct socially relevant research in the future, competitive and attractive learning and research environments are needed to support our societal mission.
Why support Arcada?
By donating you support our long-term and ambitious work for a sustainable future and you support diversity in society. We want to develop with our time and be one step ahead.
