3. Aalto, studies and work opportunities
Remember to pay the Kela health care fee for the spring term
Students who are studying during spring term 2023 need to pay a healthcare fee to Kela, the Social Insurance Institution of Finland. If you are a bachelor’s degree student who has enrolled as attending for the spring term 2023, you must pay the healthcare fee by 31 January 2023. Kela sends no bill for the fee, so you need to remember to make the payment yourself.

What’s iGEM?
Being a part of an iGEM team allows you to plan your own research project from scratch in three phases. In spring, you will get to know your team members and decide on the project you will try to develop during the summer. The team will also reach out to companies and gather funding. The summer consists of practical work and testing your design. In autumn, you will present your project and compete with other iGEM teams for the Grand Prize, as well as other Track and Special Awards.
