Think Helsinki, Think! is a charity that promotes scientific and critical thinking through educational events and tools. Their upcoming event in September will feature comedians and scientists speaking to raise awareness and funds. Past events have been successful in attracting sold-out audiences and media coverage.

Our mission is to make people think, to start trusting science again, to question
what they read, see and hear and to encourage others to do the same.
For sanity, for questioning the world around us, and helping people understand
and to think.

We raise funds for this cause through several means, the biggest being
our single day events in Helsinki, Finland that bring together great minds
in science and critical thinking, scientists, lecturers, comedians,
and all the rest of us for one night.
The events have two purposes: to create awareness
and to raise funds for the charity.
