Östra Finlands Nation (ÖFN) is one of the 15 student nations at the University of Helsinki, Swedish-speaking and established in 1924. The nation is formed to represent the interests of Swedish-speaking students coming from Eastern Finland, nowadays interpreted as the community of Sipoo and any place more to the east of it. While the official language of the nation is Swedish and most members are students at the University of Helsinki, any student (including international degree or exchange students) studying at any university or applied university in the Helsinki region is welcome as a member.
