Arvoisa kansleri, hyvät yliopistolaiset ja yliopiston ystävät, kära medlemmar av universitets gemenskapen, dear members of the University community, dear excellencies,
In recent years, we have witnessed significant worldwide social disruptions. At critical junctures in world politics, it is evident that global power structures, economic systems and political ideologies are in a state of flux.
These junctures can involve both perils and prospects. Conflict amplifies feelings of uncertainty and insecurity. At the same time, every transformation carries the potential for something new.
International transformations resonate in the conversations taking place at universities and in research contexts. As society around us changes, the University has an active role through scholarship and research as a partner in conversation and a seeker of solutions.
