University of Helsinki has a long experience in arranging popular international summer camps. Our LUMA Summer Camps are a meeting venue for students between 16 – 19 years of age and who are interested in natural sciences, mathematics, and technology. The LUMA Summer camp provides a unique opportunity to get to know Finnish excellence in this field, as well as a wonderful chance to get together with other like-minded young people from all around the world.
