Science day - 22.3.2023
Mission Possible is the most influential and innovative forum for people interested in science. Did you know that we already have the tools to solve future challenges? Of course, it's science.
Whether you work in business, in the public sector or whether you're simply interested in the future, Mission Possible is the place to be. This is where researchers meet the general audience, students and partners. We discuss science together in the light of current affairs.
Mission Possible is the place to find out where we're heading and we are confident it will be a great future.
The event is bilingual (English and Finnish), free of charge and open for everyone.
