Rediscovering the Knowledge Society

The Society programme of The Finnish Institute in London focuses currently in steering the knowledge society discussion towards what we think is a more beneficial direction. Read more about the current programme focus from this blog post.

Current focus areas and projects:

Education and Learning. Our aim is simple: we want to create a shared vision of the future of education for the knowledge society, and make it happen through international collaboration and learning.

  • Finns and Education. The seminar series examines the key elements for the success of the Finnish education.

Open Knowledge and Open Society. We believe openness is essential for a true knowledge society and our aim is to explore the benefits of transparent, collaborative and sharing-based practices, such as open data.


The Society Programme works to identify and develop new insights and novel solutions to contemporary societal challenges.

We encourage cross-disciplinarity and international collaboration between partners in our networks. We engage in research, broker people, link ideas, and provide our partners with a platform to discuss and act. Our key partners include universities, think tanks and other research organisations, public sector providers and policymakers
