Programme

CCD 2018 commenced at noon on Monday, May 28th.

On Monday evening, the City of Helsinki welcomed us in the Empire Room of the the Old Court House, a.k.a. the Bock House, at a reception hosted by Deputy Mayor for Education Pia Pakarinen, and Senior Adviser to the Mayor Victor Andersson. Thanks for a great event in a stunning hall!
