The state of emergency caused by coronavirus also affects the celebrations of Vappu, the biggest national carnival of spring. This year, we will stay at home but celebrate together. There are enough remote activities to last for several days.
Our research approach is international and transnational by nature, and our strengths lie in a multi-perspective understanding of the processes of globalisation and of the interaction of Europe with the wider world. Furthermore, Finnish connections and activities abroad are also in the focus of our research.
Soon, we will be able to see historical places and events as they were in past centuries through our smartphones or data glasses.
