WORK2019 Conference call for abstracts is open!
Having recruited 22 new researchers, the Turku Institute for Advanced Studies (TIAS) strengthens its position as an international unit of high-quality and innovative research in the humanities and social sciences. The three-year research positions of the multidisciplinary research collegium are extremely popular, something which is apparent considering the number of the applications: almost 700 applications from 78 different countries. TIAS is a joint enterprise between the Faculties of Social Sciences, Humanities, Education and Law and Turku School of Economics.
The expert staff in the faculty seize contemporary challenges and analyse civil and social issues from the perspective of their respective fields. Together they form and continue to build up an elaborate picture of society.
An emergency exercise was organised on the lower campus of the University of Turku on 13 September. It was part of a more extensive Syystammi18 drill by the Finnish Defence Forces.
The emergency exercise that took place at Educarium has ended. The area can now be accessed normally.
A new study by researchers from the University of Turku, Finland and the University of Skövde, Sweden shows that people with more peace of mind in the waking state have more positive dreams, whereas those with more anxiety in the waking state have more negative dreams. This means that dream experiences, as revealed in recalled and reported dreams, may reflect a person’s mental health.
