Every fall season it is time to nominate and select the Alumni of the Year for the Faculty of Medicine. The Alum of the Year 2025 for the Faculty of Medicine is Secretary General of the Cancer Society of Finland, Juha Pekka Turunen.
Annually we invite faculty members, alumni, partners, and stakeholder representatives of the Faculty of Medicine to hear about current activities and research of the Faculty, and to network in relaxed environment.
In the Anniversary Day 2025 we learned more about current research, heared educational highlights, networked and met the Faculty's Alum of the Year 2025.
Next time the Anniversary Day celebrations take place on January 28, 2026.
The exceptional circumstances also gave a new face to the scientific seminars held on the campus, as the Biomedicum Helsinki Seminars and Viikki Monday seminars joined forces and are now held as HiLIFE webinars. In the academic year 2020–2021, HiLIFE webinars carry on the tradition of bringing outstanding and noteworthy international researchers to present their work in the life sciences.
Further information on upcoming seminars and webinars is available on the HiLIFE website.
Together with the Hospital District of Helsinki and Uusimaa and Biomedicum Helsinki, the Faculty of Medicine organises the Studia Medicina lecture series, which is open to anyone interested in the topics. The lectures focus on different themes and are organised at approximately two-month intervals in the autumn and spring terms. Information on the lectures is provided on the organisers’ websites and in newspaper advertisements. Further information on Studio Medicina is available online (in Finnish only).
