Take a photo and join the collection campaign by May 31: What does your day-to-day life look like at the University?

‘Everyday life at the University photo collection’ is a campaign to collect photos taken by members of the University community of their everyday work or studies. The campaign will be carried out from 1 April to 31 May, 2025.

Helsinki University Museum Flame will go through the photos submitted and store a selection of them in the Museum collection. In addition, photos will be compiled online for the University community to enjoy. Photos may also be used as illustrations for internal communication in applicable topics. 

The collection of photos will provide the most diverse image yet of the University for posterity and a snapshot for the University community of what it was like to work at the University in spring 2025. 

You can participate by filling in and submitting a photo through an e-form. If you wish to send several photos, please complete a separate form for each. Send the picture by May 31, 2025. 

All photos sent to the collection must have been taken with their subjects’ consent and require a right of use granted by the photographer. 

Challenge your colleagues or fellow students to take part! What does your work or study day look like? You can take a photo of your favourite place at the University, your work or study environment or community. Or do you have a routine, a task or a hobby that would be interesting to introduce to the University community? Take a photo and take part in illustrating life at the University!

This is the second year we’re collecting photos of everyday life at the University. Check out last year’s photos on the University Flickr account.
