Minna Nurminen selected as member of the Uniarts Helsinki Board
The University Collegium selected Minna Nurminen as member of the Uniarts Helsinki Board for a four-year term from 1 January 2024 to 31 December 2027.
There is a vacancy in the Board because Astrid Thors’ term in the Uniarts Helsinki Board will end at the turn of the year. The Collegium thanks Astrid Thors already at this point for her long and consistent work with Uniarts Helsinki’s best interest in mind.
Minna Nurminen is a Master of Arts and a Master of Science in Economics and Business Administration, and her educational background and experience give her excellent qualifications for serving in the Uniarts Helsinki Board.

She also represents Kone Foundation in the board of Holding Manutas Oy. Nurminen has studied Finnish language and literature and worked as a Finnish teacher at the adult education centre Paasikivi-Opisto, for example. She is an active consumer of art and interested in a wide range of artistic disciplines, with literature being particularly important for her.
