VENUE

The Congress will take place at the University of Helsinki Main Building and City Centre Campus. The Main Building is located in the very heart of Helsinki, a short walk (650 meters) from the Central Railway Station, and with excellent connections by tram, metro and bus.

The airport train takes you to Helsinki city center in 30 minutes, making the venue extremely accessible for international delegates travelling from and to global destinations.

The oldest part of the Main Building is facing the Senate Square which was designed by Carl Ludvig Engel and its construction was completed in 1832.

It is part of a unique Empire style milieu surrounding the Senate Square. In the 1930s, the Main Building was expanded based on Johan Sigfrid Sirén’s plans to encompass a whole city block. The whole building was completely renovated between 2019 and 2023. The main congress rooms will be the Great Hall (750 seats), Auditorium (490 seats) and Small Hall (200 Seats).
