Curious Alumni Award celebrates our alumni who work towards a better future, showcasing curiosity and courage. These alumni act as ambassadors for our university in the professional world, within Finnish society, and in international context. The Curious Alumni may also engage in active collaboration with the university.
Who do you think should receive the Curious Alumni Award? The whole LUT community is encouraged to participate and influence the nomination of candidates.
Curious Alumni Award will next be awarded in the spring 2025. Nominate candidates for the 2025 Curious Alumni between 23 January and 9 March.
LUT Alumni Relations compile a shortlist from the nominations, from which the Rectorate and Deans decide on the winner.
A Curious Alumni Award winner is someone who:
- has actively contributed to creating a better future,
- has demonstrated a curious, courageous, and solution-oriented attitude in professional life nationally or internationally.
The nomination period of the 2025 award winner will begin on 23 January.
