Welcome to NERA 2020

Rethinking the futures of education
in the Nordic countries

4-6 March 2020 | Turku, Finland

Dear Colleagues

We are looking forward to seeing you in March 2020 at the University of Turku, which celebrates its 100th anniversary. It is our great pleasure to welcome you to Turku – the city with a long Nordic history and versatile academic and cultural life. Future, the theme of the congress, is fascinating, yet complex and nebulous. But one thing is for sure:  education creates future!
