The exceptional circumstances also gave a new face to the scientific seminars held on the campus, as the Biomedicum Helsinki Seminars and Viikki Monday seminars joined forces and are now held as HiLIFE webinars. In the academic year 2020–2021, HiLIFE webinars carry on the tradition of bringing outstanding and noteworthy international researchers to present their work in the life sciences.
Further information on upcoming seminars and webinars is available on the HiLIFE website.
