Thanks for the note. This was a result of English-language miscommunication between author and editor. We have changed the wording to say the campus is in Espoo, only a few miles from Helsinki.

Espoo is not even part of Helsinki. Espoo is Finland's second largest city after Helsinki. Finland's capital city area consists of four cities: Helsinki (capital city), Espoo, Vantaa and Kauniainen. From the article:

“The campus is actually located in Espoo, a Helsinki suburb”

Espoo is not Helsinki’s suburb. Espoo is not even part of Helsinki. Espoo is Finland’s second largest city after Helsinki. Finland’s capital city area consists of four cities: Helsinki (capital city), Espoo, Vantaa and Kauniainen.
