KASVA Newsletter 2014/4

Thanks to all for the registrations to the KASVA Annual Seminar! About fifty doctoral students and supervisors will gather together in the seminar. The division of the small groups is now being finalised and the information about the classification, as well as  the work papers of small groups will be sent to the participants as soon as possible.

 

Thank you also all the financed members of 2010 –2013 who have answered in the reporting inquiry of the Academy of Finland. If you have received salary from KASVA during these years and haven't  yet filled the questionnaire, I'm still waiting for your reply here.  

In their meeting, the KASVA board will discuss and decide on the travel grants of KASVA for this year. This is also a subject that the doctoral students have sent inquiries about to the coordinator. The board will also discuss and work further on the future of the KASVA network.
