Uniarts Helsinki Researcher Lecture Series starts on 17 January

The University of the Arts Helsinki’s Researcher Lecture Series presents ongoing research work by the researchers from the three Uniarts Academies. The series offers an insight into the current research projects underway at the Uniarts, their research topics, questions, methodologies and results from the fields of music, fine arts and performing arts. Each part of the series presents two lecturers (30 minutes each), plus a general discussion. 

The lecture series is open to everybody in the Uniarts and as a course it is suitable for doctoral degree students, as well as master’s degree students with specific interest in research. 

Most of the lectures will take place in Zoom.
