Student Union History

The history of the teekkaris is long and colourful. There have been teekkaris in Finland since 1849, when the first students started their work in the Helsinki Modern School of Technology.

The history of the Student Union of the Helsinki University of Technology began in 1872 when an association called Teknologföreningen was founded. During the years the teekkari associations reformed and were renamed as language conflicts tore the community apart and as the Helsinki Modern School of Technology turned via many phases into the Helsinki University of Technology.
