Taking responsibility into account in meetings
One of the objectives of the European Capital of Culture 2026 is to make all events as carbon neutral as possible. Therefore, the City of Oulu also encourages meeting and congress organisers to make environmentally responsible choices. You can take sustainability into account, for example, by choosing a meeting space that takes sustainability issues into account, by serving local and vegan food to your guests, and by making your decorations, waste management and meeting programme environmentally friendly. Environmental work is a form of sustainability, where you make permanent choices and learn more all the time. Thank you for being part of creating an environmentally friendly Oulu!

Mainstreaming accessibility in meetings
An accessible meeting at the Nordic ring road is possible when the transport services and activities used at the meeting are also accessible, everyone can get there and can participate in the programme. There is also a choice of meeting rooms that cater for the hearing impaired.
