Scholarly work requires both national and international research collaboration. Conferences serve as an important forum for such collaboration, enabling researchers to exchange knowledge, share results, network with peers and discuss ideas. The world-class research conducted within the various disciplines and extensive networks of the University of Helsinki provide an excellent basis for hosting conferences.
Most conferences are organised in the University’s own facilities on the City Centre Campus or one of its three other campuses. Alternatively, conferences may be held in venues outside the University – in either the Helsinki Metropolitan Area or, for a special winter experience, a destination such as the remote Fell Lapland.
