Dear students,

We warmly invite you to join an international UNIC online gathering on today 11 March 2026, 19:00–20:40 where students and staff from several European universities come together to explore some of the biggest health and wellbeing challenges in post‑industrial cities.

The session is open to all University of Oulu students — especially those in the later stages of their studies and doctoral researchers curious about future UNIC learning opportunities.

Later this spring, we will launch a course related to genomic data governance and its ethical questions. Students attending tomorrow will get a first glimpse of the themes we will work on in this upcoming course.
