Finnland-Institut

The Finnland-Institut is a Berlin-based forum connecting Finnish culture, arts, academia and business with audiences and organisations across German-speaking Europe. It encourages exchange and collaboration by networking and advising people and institutions from different fields, and by working with partners to present a varied programme exploring Finland’s culture and society.

Its cultural programme includes events and exhibitions in areas such as visual arts, design, music and performance, while its academic programme addresses research, education and wider social issues. The institute also supports cross-border exchange through funding programmes and publishes a series on Finnish society, academic research and culture. Visitors can use its open library as a place to work, study and read.

For people interested in opportunities in Finland, the institute provides information and personal consultation on studying and internships, including guidance at study fairs and colleges. It also offers Finnish students the opportunity to undertake an internship at the institute; very good German-language skills are essential.
