Short history

Futuuri was founded in September 2000. Futuuri means “futures contract” and founders thought it would be a suitable name for the business economic students at the University of Lapland. Futuuris mission is to foster its member’s professional knowledge and to offer its members connections to the organizations and interest groups in branch.

In the autumn 2001 began the first 30 students who graduate to the master of Economics. Major subjects for the Futuuri students are marketing and accounting, minor subject can be for example business administration or information technology. Economic students are nowadays also members of SEFE, The union of economics of Finland.
The Executive Board is selected every year and it is the highest authority in administrational and executive issues in the Futuuri.

Futuuri today

Futuuri has nowadays over 250 members and hopefully the amount of members will increase enormously in the future. Futuuri organizes leisure activities for its members, for example the overall parties (we have safe black overalls!). The most important parties in autumn are Fuksiaiset, Annual celebration and Christmas party, and in the spring there's Laskiainen, Poronkusema and Wappu. Futuuri has achieved the championship of the Pint party 2001 and Futuuris cancan-girl team (Kaamasen Kievarin Kaarinat) became 3rd in the Poronkusema in 2002. Futuuri also informs its members about the economic students happenings in Finland, for example about the Rinnerieha in Jyväskylä. Latest information about our happenings and, of course, funny pictures are always available on our webpages. You are most welcome to browse through these pictures at any time. Who knows if YOU might end up there;) *Chuckles*
