Excellence Meets Impact – Centre of Excellence Seminar
The Research Council of Finland will organize a Centre of Excellence seminar on Tuesday 2 December 2025.
The afternoon event for all Centres of Excellence will take place from 12:30 to 18:00 at the Research Council’s premises in Hakaniemi, Helsinki.
The event is intended for the directors, PIs, and coordinators of the consortia in all three Centres of Excellence programmes: 2018–2025, 2022–2029, and 2026–2033. Please ensure that your consortium is represented at the event.
Subject to space availability, other interested researchers working within the Centres of Excellence are also welcome to attend. Therefore, we kindly ask you to register for the seminar by 31 October 2025. We will open the registration to a wider group of participants in November.
Before the afternoon event, an induction and orientation session for the new 2026–2033 Centres of Excellence will be held from 9:30 to 12:00.
