On Thursday 30 October, the Faculty of Information Technology and Communication Sciences is organising the Research Afternoon – the annual event aimed at providing the ITC research centres an opportunity to showcase and share their research. This year, the ITC Research Afternoon will be taking place at the Hervanta campus Päärakennus/Main building Lobby. The event opens at 13:00 and closes at 17:00, after which the ITC staff will have a chance to take part in the ITC Fall Festival’s Evening party at the Kampusareena in Hervanta.
At 13:00, Plural Research Centre starts with a short presentation of the research centre mission and current activities. After that, pluralists will be presenting their research in four poster presentations sessions. A new Plural board member, Professor Katariina Harjunpää will present her research, too.
