During this event, TCuPS was honored to host Professor Semi Purhonen and his research team. He generously explained some aspects of their project newly funded by Horizon 2020 and shared some of his precious experiences regarding routines and practicalities of the European funding programme. Beside this, TCuPS welcomed three new members (Heba, Aino and Maarja), and got more familiar with Heba’s research proposal. Separately, administrative discussions regarding TCuPS website and the GTS master’s degree program were held and Pertti Alasuutari apprised the members of his vision for the group’s future.

The evening concluded with a walk in the woods, an appetizing dinner and, some Sauna and swimming. Thanks to all TCuPS members for this wonderful day! 🙂
