Organization

Symbioosi ry is both parties, trips, studying, advocacy and taming the lack of coffee – all together with like-minded students. Although, Symbioosi ry is a student organization for biology students, any student of the University of Helsinki interested in the field of biology can join in.

Symbioosi was once founded “to strengthen the cohesion of biology and geography students, to monitor the interests and rights of students in the student union, and to secure the financial status of students in the field after graduation”. Geography students have since founded their own organization MaO ry.

Today, Symbioosi is the very own and beloved organization of all those studying biological subjects. The best place to meet the so called Symbionts is the club room, or kertsi, located in Biokeskus 3. Free coffee and tea are served at the clubroom for those hungry for caffeine, in addition to a wide selection of different snacks and drinks. We actively organize various events, and the best way to stay up-to-date is to follow our information on our email list, telegram’s information channel, social media and by observing Biosfääri’s event calendar. We collaborate especially with other organizations of the faculty of bio and environmental Sciences.
