HIIT Retreat Objectives

The annual HIIT Retreat event will be held on May 10 in Tervaniemi.

The main objective of the meeting is to increase the awareness of participants of the research being carried out at HIIT and the plans for the future, and thereby provide opportunities for further co-operation between research programmes and research groups.
