This event is s part of the activities of the Kvantum Institute and the related Technology and Natural Sciences Doctoral Programme.
The first day of the event introduces the highlights of the research in Sustainable Resource Use and Earth’s Changing Environment and provides introduction to the strategic research in two focus areas of the University of Oulu, ‘Creating sustainability through materials and systems’ and ‘Earth and near-space system and environmental change’. The programme consists of keynote lectures, the focus area spearhead project progress narratives and introduction of five new Emerging projects.
The second day is open for the presentations of doctoral candidates and other researchers.
The third day introduced the I4FUTURE projects.
This three-day seminar and workshop can also serve as a research plan seminar for doctoral students (1-2 cr), registration for the course is open in webOodi. Description and requirements for the course (480023J) here.
Call for abstracts
The second day is open for all that wish to introduce their research. Please submit an extended abstract for an oral and poster presentation (from one to four pages) on your research / research plan.
Please submit your abstract (with preference of oral/poster presentation) as a word file, including possible figures, using the given template by e-mail to riitta.kamula (at)oulu.fi.
