Welcome!
Come and get to know Tampere Hacklab at our open house club night held on Tuesdays. You’re welcome to visit Hacklab before submitting a membership application. Hacklab is the right place for you if you want to be part of an awesome group and express your creativity together with like-minded people. Everything runs on volunteer effort: every member’s participation and support for the community is needed and greatly appreciated.
Membership fees are divided into two classes: basic membership and key membership (which includes basic membership). Hacklab’s most common membership class is the key membership, which grants access to Hacklab’s workshop at any time. A key member can store items in the association’s premises and use all the tools located there. The other membership class is the basic membership, which entitles you to attend open door evenings and use hand tools at Hacklab.
Resigning from the association or cancelling a key membership does not happen by simply stopping your membership payments. Instead, it must be done through the membership management platform or, in exceptional cases, by contacting the association’s board by email at hallitus (at) tampere.hacklab.fi.
Key membership
40 € / month
- If you’d like to support Hacklab's activities, you can pay a higher membership fee, for example 55 € / month. If your financial situation requires it, you can also pay a lower membership fee, but no less than 10 € / month.
- Covering the association’s essential expenses works out to approximately 30 € / month per member. Hacklab’s monthly expenses are around 10 000 €, and any surplus goes toward developing the association’s activities and premises.
- You get 24/7 access to the association’s premises.
- Includes the basic association membership.
- Paid every month regardless of whether you use the space.
- The payment amount can be changed from month to month as your life situation changes.
- Only persons over 18 years of age can be accepted as key members.
Basic membership (annual membership)
42 € / year
- You can take part in lectures and events organized by Hacklab.
- You can visit the premises during open-door hours (Tuesday, Thursday) and when key members allow it.

Also, familiarize yourself with the member's instructions, which explain various practical matters about the use of the space.
