International Events

The aim of the FinCEAL Plus international events is to facilitate Finnish researchers' networking and partnership building with strategic partners from African, Asian, Latin American and Caribbean research institutions as well as to showcase Finnish expertise. We actively cooperate with the Finnish research community, Team Finland, Finnish Embassies abroad and international networks in the design and implementation of these high-level events.
