Today the town, for some known as the \u2018Forest Capital of Europe\u2019, is a growing administrative, cultural and educational centre of 76500 inhabitants on the shores of Lake Pyh\u00e4selk\u00e4. An inspiration for the Finnish national epic, the Kalevala, North Karelia is a unique meeting point of eastern and western cultures surrounded by about 2000 lakes and dense forests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>University &amp; Departments<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;<strong>University of Eastern Finland<\/strong>&nbsp;is the most multi-disciplinary university in Finland. Our high standard of interdisciplinary research and education respond to global challenges and build a sustainable future. The University of Eastern Finland was established in 2010, following a decision by the University of Joensuu (est. 1969) and the University of Kuopio (est. 1972) to join forces through a merger. The university comprises four faculties: the Philosophical Faculty, the Faculty of Science and Forestry, the Faculty of Health Sciences, and the Faculty of Social Sciences and Business Studies. Our campuses are located in Joensuu and nearby Kuopio, approximately 130 km to the west.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Department of Geographical and Historical Studies<\/strong>&nbsp;is an innovative, multi-disciplinary department with over 500 students. It includes research and teaching in geography, history and environmental policy. Today, GIS-based research on northern ecosystems and geospatial analysis additionally have become a key element of our geographic research at the department. More generally, the department\u2019s research responds to four \u2018Global Challenges\u2019: 1) Environmental change and sufficiency of natural resources; 2) Cultural encounters, mobilities and borders; 3) Ageing, lifestyles and health, and; 4) Learning in a digitised society. Our researchers are engaged in developing multidisciplinary approaches, theories, and methods in Human and Physical Geography, Environmental Policy, and History.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to get here<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The YHYS2023 will take place in the city of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.visitkarelia.fi%2Fen%2FDestinations%2FJoensuu&amp;data=02%7C01%7C%7Cc100445f25ef48ac495808d7f0266cac%7C87879f2e73044bf2baf263e7f83f3c34%7C0%7C0%7C637241920128610843&amp;sdata=zWBQ%2BhFpC2DrUZZ%2FqYzUNlH5CLtXmF1h0LwQhXMw0f4%3D&amp;reserved=0\"><strong>Joensuu<\/strong><\/a>, situated in eastern Finland, about 450 kilometres north-east from Helsinki, the capital of Finland.
