TIEDEPÄIVÄ - VETENSKAPSDAGEN - RESEARCH DAY 2022

Research Day is an event organized jointly by the doctoral programme Utuling and the School of Languages and Translation Studies, University of Turku. The event takes place on 29th April on campus (main building, University of Turku), but some presentations are available also via remote connections.

 We invite all master’s students, doctoral researchers (doctoral candidates), and teachers and researchers working at the University of Turku or Åbo Akademi University to participate in the Research Day.

The theme of the Research Day in 2022 is data and methods. The theme defines the invited speeches of the Research Day. The plenary lecture will be given by the honorary doctor of the University of Turku, Professor Laura A. Janda. In addition, the participants will hear presentations about the new research projects from the view point of data and/or methods.

As before, participants can give papers and present posters on any subjects. Research Day is a low threshold event where participants can present for discussion research plans, unfinished research ideas, methodological issues, ethical questions, and details of research analysis. The length of a presentation is 20 min + 10 min for discussion. Research Day is a great opportunity to practice conference/seminar presentations.
