The hands of someone in a yellow shirt can be seen pushing buttons on a mixdesk.

We have begun working on our Strategy for 2027–2030, and would like to hear from you. Your perspective on our role, our added value, and the changes we should respond to will help shape the direction of the Institute for the years ahead.

The stakeholder survey takes about 5 minutes. You are welcome to answer in English, Finnish, or Swedish.
Please submit your answers by 5.6.2026.

Share your thoughts. 

You can find our current strategy for 2024–2026 on the Institute page.

For any questions you can contact our Director, Johanna Råman at johanna.raman@finncult.be.

Thank you!
