Grant researchers are a crucial part of all universities. They often remain, however, at the margins of university communities. While many important improvements have been carried out in the past years, much is to be done. The Helsinki University Association of Researchers and Teachers (HUART) invites you to a webinar on grant researchers rights and prospects on May 18, at 14-16. The webinar is moderated by Tommi Mäklin (HUART).
The webinar is open for all – Welcome!
