Doctoral dissertation dinner “väitöskaronkka”

We have extensive experience organising academic celebrations, and our banquet facilities have hosted numerous doctoral thesis defence receptions. Since preparing your dissertation is already a significant undertaking, we want to make organising your celebration as easy as possible. For this reason, we have compiled information on our website about both organising the celebration and the dinner itself.
