Join us for a research-filled afternoon!
You are warmly welcome to a hybrid event on 21 September, jointly organized by the FinnCERES Flagship and the Finnish Forest Products Engineers’ Association. You will hear how FinnCERES supports young researchers in science and beyond. Moreover, several PI-funded postdocs will give an overview of their career paths and Finnish candidates of the Young Researchers’ Challenge of the Marcus Wallenberg Prize event will pitch about their research. In addition, you will be able to meet FinnCERES researchers presenting their interesting research outcomes and prototypes on-site.
As a further highlight, we have a pleasure to announce that Raimo Kaunismäki, Project Director from the Infinited Fibre Company, will present a keynote talk about the recent investment in sustainable textiles from textile waste.
