Join us at Aalto University on 28 May 2026 for a full day exploring the latest developments in material research and design. Materials play a key role in shaping more responsible ways of living, from everyday choices to industrial applications. The day is filled with expert talks, hands-on workshops, and an exhibition of material innovations. The morning focuses on biodesign, biomaterials, mycelium-based materials, composites, and digital textiles. Workshops offer opportunities to explore materials through practice, while the exhibition showcases demonstrations and new material solutions.

The event is in English and hosted by Ornamo and Aalto University. Materials Day is aimed at designers, creative professionals, and anyone interested in sustainable material futures. Participants may attend the morning, afternoon, or the full day.
