Venue location
Nordic Art Hotel Lasaretti
Kvantum Science Days will be organized in collaboration with the profi4 ARCI Final conference. ARCI conference gathers a diverse range of multidisciplinary research in Arctic science at the University of Oulu. Together with ARCI, Kvantum Science Days will arrange a joint opening session and a poster session. Additionally, we will host joint networking events, including a banquet and the guided walk to LUMO Light Festival, fostering a multidisciplinary platform for discussions and interactions.
The sessions have been designed to facilitate cross-participation in both the Kvantum Science Days and ARCI Final Conference, all taking place at Nordic Art Hotel Lasaretti.
Kvantum Science Days are open and free of charge to anyone who has registered for the event. Due to the conference facilities, the number of participants is limited to 50 people. We close the registration when the number of participants is full or 2.11.23 latest.
