A cooperation memorandum between the Ministry of Mineral Resources and Energy of Mongolia and the Outotek of the Republic of Finland was discussed and signed accordingly during the Presidential visit of Mongolia to Finland in 2010 and Finland's Presidential visit to Mongolia in 2011. 

Within the frame of the memorandum, the first group of Mongolian students has arrived in Helsinki laying the foundations of the action to train Mongolian youth in Finland in fields of mineral resource engineering and metallurgy. 

Qualified graduate and post graduate students from the Mongolian University of Science and Technology, the National University of Mongolia and their branch schools in Darkhan and Erdenet cities with the invitation from Finland’s Outotek company are to be specialized in chemistry, mineral resources engineering and metallurgy at the Aalto University School of Chemical Technology, Finland. The opening ceremony of the special training course was held in Espoo the second largest city of Finland on April 12, 2012. 

B.Enkhmandakh the Ambassador of Mongolia to Finland was invited to attend the opening ceremony. “This training course that is specially devoted to Mongolian students by the Outotek company in cooperation with Aalto University is to be a role model in the major mining and industrial projects that have already been contracted and to be contracted between Finland and Mongolia in the near future as being an intellectual investment to Mongolian youth” says the ambassador and made his advice to the students to put ones all efforts in learning as much. 
 

Established in 2010, the Aalto University is a new university with centuries of experience. The Aalto University was created from the merger of three Finnish universities: The Helsinki School of Economics, Helsinki University of Technology and The University of Art and Design Helsinki. Aalto University School of Science and Technology has been divided into four new schools starting from January 01, 2011. The six schools of Aalto University are all leading and renowned institutions in their respective fields and in their own right. 

The combination of six schools opens up new possibilities for strong multi-disciplinary education and research. The new university's ambitious goal is to be one of the leading institutions in the world in terms of research and education in its own specialized areas. 

The Aalto University School of Chemical Technology started its operations on January 01, 2011. It is based on the Faculty of Chemistry and Materials Sciences of the School of Science and Technology (former Helsinki University of Technology).
