Introduction days

Introduction days for new doctoral researchers

At the beginning of the semester, several different Introduction Days are organised for all newly admitted doctoral researchers.

Autumn 2026 Introduction days:

The introduction days for newly admitted doctoral researchers will be held onsite at Hanken, with a Teams connection between the Helsinki and Vaasa campuses. Everyone is expected to participate in the program onsite.

These events are planned for our new doctoral researcher's and are excellent opportunities for new doctoral researhers to get to know each other and several members of the teaching and administrative staff.
