Hello everyone, We would like to inform all of you about an upcoming event that may interest you: *RETHINKING ECONOMICS FINLAND, HERE IT COMES!* Thursday 27th of May, at 6pm EEST Registration link. <https://aalto.zoom.us/meeting/register/u5Euf-GgrT4rE9Iq0thqa0aIzZLZJsBrGetS> Facebook event link <https://www.facebook.com/events/484340132790619/?acontext=%7B%22ref%22%3A%2…> .

We will also introduce the wider audience to the international organization. The group currently consists of a variety of graduate students, professionals and doctoral researchers, and new members are very welcome. For those who are not familiar with the organisation, Rethinking Economics started about a decade ago, in the wake of the Global Financial Crisis, a crisis that showcased the centrality of economics to our societies while also exposing the *many failures of conventional economic thinking*. Our international network campaigns for better explanations in economics. *Our vision is of a discipline that is pluralist, applied, critical and diverse*. Rethinking Economics connects and discusses with people globally, participates in curriculum reforms, inspires debates on what economics is today and on how to bring about the change needed for the economics of tomorrow. Schedule of the event: · *Introduction*: what is RE; and our objectives and activities in Finland. · *Short lecture*: ice-breaker interactive quiz; a brief overview of what is the meaning of pluralism in economics. · *Open debate*: Q&A about RE, followed by a guided discussion on transforming economics. · *Wrap-up*: upcoming events and how to participate in RE-Finland. The event will be hosted in English, with Finnish speakers present. Useful links: · Rethinking Economics network https://www.rethinkeconomics.org/ · Exploring Economics: https://www.exploring-economics.org/en/orientation/#discover Best regards, ASC Board, 2021 [image: ASC Logo.png]

We have changed the club's name! SBC --> ASC
by Aalto Sustainability Club 24 May '21

24 May '21

Dear members, We have officially changed the name of the club to the *Aalto Sustainability Club*, as per the Association Meeting on the 19th of April! You will no longer be SBC members, but will now be ASC members! We are very excited about this change and believe that this is a positive step forward in engaging even more students in the discussion about sustainability. While we will still be hosting events concerning sustainability in business, we are also broadening the scope of the club to also include other aspects of sustainability in our events. Our aim is to reach the entire university and changing our name will hopefully help in this endeavour. Over the next coming days, you will see the name and logo change on our social media, on the AYY and KY website and in all other respective ways. New contact/social media: Email: aaltosc(a)ky.fi Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AaltoSustainabilityClub Instagram: @aaltosc Website: https://aaltosc.wordpress.com/ If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out to us!
