Onsite event
at Tauno Nurmela Lecture Hall, UTU main building

The University of Turku’s strategy emphasizes the significance of multidisciplinarity in advancing internationally high-quality research, education, and innovation. The goal of the strategy-linked multidisciplinary themes is to promote cooperation within the university and with external stakeholders, build national and international networks, and generate new initiatives and external funding applications.

New leaders for the multidisciplinary themes were selected last November, after which core groups were formed for each theme. Now it’s time to hear what actions they have planned for the coming years.

Welcome everyone!
