The SCEC-seminar is here again! The two-day hybrid seminar will cover topics such as life cycle of materials, steel and bio-based functional substances among other things. On-site attendees will also get to visit HAMK Tech's laboratories on Visamäki campus' premises.

On the first day of the seminar, November 8th, the program is in Finnish, focusing on development and research activities, financing, competence development and cooperation opportunities.

You can access the event page of the Finnish seminar day here.

On the second day of the seminar, November 9th, the program will be conducted in English, focusing on research activities. During the day, international partners will be giving presentations on their research activities and cooperation opportunities will be discussed.
