YUFE Academy - Spring 2025
Spring blossoms with new offers open for all in the YUFE Academy. This series of singular lectures, workshops, and sessions enables all to participate across the continent. In this edition, we use our European classroom to take ideas and discourse beyond geographical borders.
The YUFE Academy Spring 2025 programme features 14 different activities tackling various topics related to skills, disinformation, multilingualism in research, artificial intelligence, cooking, and memes.
We also invite you to participate in a historical YUFE Academy Event that will be held simultaneously at 4 partner universities and online. While the main event is organised by the University of Eastern Finland (UEF) in Joensuu, Finland, in cooperation with the local SciFest event, the Universities of Essex, Maastricht, and Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń join in as co-hosts with their own on-site events.
On May 22 at 3pm CET, Prof. Heidi Hyytinen (UEF) will give a streamed lecture on Skills of Critical Thinking. Those attending at the various locations (including online) will then continue with a short workshop on the topic and have a chance to exchange thoughts at the end. By providing a platform for international discussion, we aim to harness the full potential of the YUFE Alliance and open cross-border possibilities for the participants.
Further embracing our pan-European nature, on May 23 – the Day of Justice – we invite experts from across our Alliance to an online panel, open to all, to reflect on the trust our societies place in the courts of law.
Check the programme, browse the YUFE Virtual Campus catalogue for more details and register for sessions!
See you at YUFE Academy!
