Café Smarts
The University of Eastern Finland’s Café Smarts are science-themed events in which the general public is served evidence-based information over a cup of coffee. In Café Smarts, the university’s researchers and specialists discuss current and exciting topics in the fields of science and research. Café Smarts are organised by the Communications and Media Relations Unit of the University of Eastern Finland together with the university’s researchers.
