Helsinki is in many ways similar to my hometown Copenhagen, but it is like the buildings and structures are double in size

The national museum (closed for the moment)

This monday starts with side meetings at the Finlandia building

where you can already get your badge

For me, the Monday side meeting is the GÉANT General Assembly

...with a special guest star from the European Commission: Giulia Gasperini

All over town, you see the TNC participants - here Alexander Carôt from Anhalt University of Applied Sciences

The GA and CEO track dinner is held at Villa Ivan Falin which is reached through the woods

The Polish quartet from PCSS: Raimundas Tuminauskas, Artur Binczewski, Robert Pekal and Cesary Mazurek

A view of the Musikkitalo where the TNC is going to take place. The arrangements they are building in front is, however, for some other event

Lasipalatsi - the glass palace - a Helsinki landmark, built in 1936.
