If you like outdoor activities like hiking, biking, canoeing, wild swimming, or simply having a stroll through nature, there is no better place for you.

This is where East meets West, which can be seen for example in the historic architecture or tasted in the local cuisine, some of which you will have an opportunity to savour if you join our conference dinner. The region, its culture and history are furthermore presented in the North Karelian Museum or the Joensuu Art Gallery, both of which are in the city centre and well worth a visit. Besides, we also recommend you partake in the most Finnish of all traditions and go to one of Joensuu&#8217;s many saunas. For instance, saunas are available in all hotels or you could visit the public sauna &#8220;J\u00e4\u00e4karhut&#8221;, where you can also take a dip in the lake. This is not just a relaxing way to spend an evening, but also an opportunity to get to know Finland&#8217;s unique sauna culture, which has been recognised as an intangible heritage of humanity by UNESCO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image
