The title of her talk is: Everyday tips for implementing Kumpula code of conduct

The abstract of her talk reads:

The presentation invites you to contemplate how the Kumpula Campus Code of Conduct https://www.helsinki.fi/en/faculty-science/faculty/kumpula-campus-code-conduct and more generally values it is based on should manifest themselves in the Kumpula community – especially from the point of view the work well-being and equality. The INAR equality and work well-being group has comprised a list of everyday behavior patterns that we should pay attention to when striving to make the workplace culture welcoming to people with diverse backgrounds, and some points from this list are highlighted as examples.
