The weekend consists of periods of quiet work as well as shared breaks during which you can exchange ideas and take a breather with other participants. Peer facilitators will take care of time management and practical arrangements.
The September thesis weekend will be held at the university library in room Väite (B248). Breakfast will be available on Saturday and Sunday in the Student Lounge. In addition, coffee and tea will be served throughout the weekend.
Participation requires pre-registration. The first 25 people to register will be admitted. The thesis weekend, including breakfast, is free of charge. All students of the University of Jyväskylä working on a bachelor’s thesis, master’s thesis, diploma thesis, or doctoral dissertation are welcome to attend, regardless of the stage of their work.
