- Accessibility
- The event page does not describe event-specific accessibility at the presentation stations. The programme is in several buildings, with an outdoor transfer between the city-centre campus venues and the Observatory in Tähtitorninmäki park. Check current venue accessibility with the organiser if a step-free route or moving with a stroller is important.

Helsinki University Museum Flame's exhibition centre is at Fabianinkatu 33; from 18:00 to 20:00, enter via Yliopistonkatu 2. Bring your own headphones if you want to listen to the audio messages at the mitochondria station.
