We meet every two weeks in Meilahti, Viikki, Kumpula and City Center campuses interchangeably. The organizing team typically selects the topic of discussion, and we also welcome suggestions and requests from our attendees. To stimulate open discussions, we select an article as well as occasionally invite experts on relevant topics to guide the conversations.
