Election panel focused on the humanities

How could values and research associated with the humanities be promoted in society? What will science and education policy look like in the next government term from the perspective of the humanities? How can students’ welfare be promoted? And how to tackle climate change, the biggest challenge of our time?

Please join us at an election panel focused on the humanities to listen to and challenge candidates for the Finnish parliament on science policy, students’ welfare and the status of the humanities in society on Wednesday, 3 April at Metsätalo (Unioninkatu 40) from 17.00 to 19.00. The event will be held in lecture hall 1. You can follow the panel also here.
