After 5 years of inspiring teamwork and exciting research, the CALLIOPE project is coming to an end. We invite you to the final seminar Speaking of Power and Politics.

The seminar takes place on 7 December 2022, from 10 am – 1 pm, in the University of Helsinki’s Main Building, room 4072 (Unioninkatu 34)
Remote attendance is possible on Zoom.

Entrance to the seminar is free, but we would appreciate it if you could sign up here if you are planning to attend in person or online.

The programme will consist of the results of the research carried out by CALLIOPE members Ludovic Marionneau and Karen Lauwers, talks by dr. Jan-Friedrich Missfelder (University of Basel) and dr. Pasi Ihalainen (University of Jyväskylä), and an overview of the project’s main findings by PI Josephine Hoegaerts.
