Four seminars will be organized as hybrid events at the University of Helsinki and on Zoom (details below), for those unable to join us in person.
Each session has been tailored around a particular theme, and consist of two talks, after which the entire seminar joins in discussion. We invite you all to come and participate!
As fall wastes little time throwing out the last days of summer, the first seminar is already behind us (thank you Hanna and Saana for the fascinating talks!).
