The University of Helsinki is participating for the first time in the Universitas 21 network’s RISE (Real Impact on Society and Environment) competition. This is an international competition that showcases student-led projects aimed at addressing sustainability and societal challenges. 

The RISE competition is part of the opportunities offered by the U21 network to its students. The competition features projects from around the world, representing nearly every U21 member institution. Winners will be awarded in four different categories, one of which is the People’s Choice Award, decided by a public vote. 

This year, the University of Helsinki is represented by a team from the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine with the Abbis project, which develops solutions for preventive healthcare for pets. 

Now the entire university community is encouraged to participate: check out the projects and cast your vote for your favorite. 

Voting is open to everyone and runs until July 9, 2026. 

Check out the competition and vote for your favorite on the Universitas 21 website.
