Meet the New TIES Fellows 2023 - Two online events
Wednesday 20 September and Wednesday 27 September, at 15.00-16.00.
In September 2023, eight TIES Fellows joined the Turku Institute for Advanced Studies (TIAS) to undertake new research projects. TIES - Turku Intersectoral Excellence Scheme is a new programme which mixes the traditional Institute for Advanced Studies (IAS) model of bottom-up research with intersectoral working. TIES Fellows spend part of their Fellowship on secondment with an organisation outside of higher education. TIES is jointly funded by the European Union’s Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) COFUND programme and the University of Turku.
We welcome colleagues from the University of Turku and beyond to join us in these online seminars to find out more about TIAS’ new Fellows and their research. Please join us online for an hour of interdisciplinary research excellence.
