The presentations can be given either in English or in Finnish, but the use of English is strongly encouraged.

Possible credits are to be negotiated by the doctoral researchers themselves at their own units.

The abstracts and papers (and all questions) should be sent via e-mail to tommi.vehkavaara@tuni.fi


PAST CONGRESSES
