Local information
Wednesday is the poster session day. All events are at Pinni B. We have asked the presenters to put their posters up already in the morning and keep them up until the end of the day. Posters will be in the Aulabuffet where we also have the coffee breaks, so you have time to see them during the lunch or breaks.
On Tuesday the sessions will be in the Pinni B Building. Registration opening at 8:15 in the lobby, right after entering the door in the photo below.
Lunch vouchers can be used in all University restaurants and cafeterias. There are no reserved tables for the conference attendees, but you get to experience an authentic Finnish student restaurant atmosphere! Please hand in your voucher to the cashier after you have collected your food from the buffet. Please note that coffee and dessert are not included.
Minerva is in the same building as the conference (Pinni B).
