UNITalent participants have all received an email with a link to sign up for the closing event on 25.4.24, 16-18.

It’s a unique event for many reasons! It is the first time we are able to organize a live meeting for UNITalent participants and hosts.  We are getting together in the Crowne Plaza hotel in Helsinki for an event consisting of short speeches, networking and coctails. It’s an easygoing occasion, and we hope to see as many of this year’s UNITalentees in person as possible!

UNITalent will open for application again in autumn – 24, details will be posted here soon!

Do you want to share experiences, discuss something or just drop in for a chat? We are here for you on 29.2, 16:15- 17.  Check your calendars for the Teams link! Or get in touch and we can send it to you.
