This year, one of the Business Networking Day activities is the JYU seminfinals for the FORTHEM Researcher Grand Prix. We have chosen six semifinalists among the early stage researchers at the University of Jyväskylä. The researchers will have the possibility to present their research with a 4-minute pitch in front of a live audience. Their performance will be assessed by a designated jury and two of the participants will win a possiblity to participate in the international Grand Prix final in Kristiansand, Norway, in the beginning of November.
