Dear everyone,
The registration for the 32nd Spring Symposium of the LUOVA Doctoral programme (March 6th – 8th, Viikki campus) is now open. It closes the morning of Monday, February 13th at 16:00. Registration is only necessary for those presenting a talk or a poster, or writing a diary; Those attending to enjoy other people’s presentations are welcome to join without registering. We also hope that supervisors and other researchers will participate and provide feedback on the talks and posters.
With that, we’d like to invite all doctoral researchers (PhD students) life sciences-related to give a talk at the symposium, and all master’s students are encouraged to present their study as a poster (see details below).
Registration link is here
Please remember to register in Sisu as well if you’re applying for credits.
The Spring Symposium is a great opportunity for doctoral researchers and master’s students to get live experience giving conference-style presentations in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Doctoral researchers can apply to get one study credit for presenting a talk via course code LUOVA-401 and LUOVA-402. Master’s students can also earn credits by presenting a poster or writing a learning diary (Course code EEB-312). Sign up for these on the registration form and in Sisu.
Regarding the practical organization of the symposium:
- The symposium will be organised as an on-site event, but there is a possibility to set up tools for live streaming and remote attendance for those who need it.
- The posters will be shown on screens in the auditorium. We will ask the students to make a poster in the landscape format.
- We are happy to announce to you that the Grande Finale event will take place in the Zoological Museum of Natural History the evening of the last day of the symposium (Wednesday, the 8th of March). More information about this event soon.
Best wishes,
The LUOVA 32nd Spring Symposium committee.

The Spring Symposium is organized by doctoral students from the Doctoral Programme in Wildlife Biology Research (Finnish acronym LUOVA) of the University of Helsinki. The symposium brings together students active in research fields related to ecology, evolution, systematics and nature conservation.
