The ESERA Board has accepted a proposal from Jarkko Lampiselkä and Jari Lavonen from the University of Helsinki in Finland to hold the ESERA 2015 International Conference in Helsinki from 31.8 – 4.9.2015. All intended conference venues will be located within 1.5 kilometres from the city centre and easily accessible by public transportation. The planning committee, mindful of the costs of living in Helsinki, will offer various options for conference participants so that they can make selections which match their financial resources. Similarly, they are securing a variety of accommodations at a wide-range of prices to meet different participant preferences.
