PI invites students and doctoral researchers to join an unforgettable excursion on Thursday, April 16, culminating in a 22-hour cruise to Tallinn.
Programme
The day begins with the Pulp & Beyond Student Day at Messukeskus (Helsinki Expo and Convention Centre). During the event, you will have the opportunity to get inspired, meet companies from the forest-based bioeconomy sector, receive career tips, and gain insights into the future of the industry in a relaxed and networking-oriented atmosphere.
In the afternoon, we will depart from Messukeskus at 3:00 PM and head to UPM’s headquarters in Helsinki for a company visit. After the visit, the journey continues to the port and onward to the Tallinn cruise.
The ship departs at 6:35 PM, and we will return to Helsinki on Friday, April 17 at 4:00 PM.
