Hanken’s fundraising campaign reaches 7 million euro

The donation is Hanken’s share of the foundation’s decision to donate 2,5 million euro to ten Finnish universities to support economic research and education. The decision was based on the following criteria: academic success within research, the societal impact measured in the amount of business graduates and PhDs, and the amount of donations the foundation has received within the universities’ different areas during the past 15 years. 

- We are truly grateful for this donation and appreciate that the decision has been based on factual criteria. This signals that our efforts go a long way and that our success benefits the society at large, says Rector Karen Spens.

The fundraising campaign HANKEN RETURNS will continue until 30.6.2017 and has, with this donation included, so far raised approximately 7,2 million euro. The aim of the campaign is to secure Hanken’s unique position as Finland’s only independent business school.
