Research presentations
To draw attention to some of our research findings we organize various events in Helsinki and around the world, in the form of public lectures, book launches, and seminars. These are often arranged in partnership with local institutes and provide an opportunity for a broader audience to hear about our work, to discuss topical research (including work in progress), and to mark the publication of new titles.
