Say hello to Helsinki, Finland

Helsinki is an attractive, small city. On the Baltic Sea and with lots of inlets, bays and islands it is very much a city of water. In the summer, when we will be there, you can find a wonderful open air food market right on the waterfront, where the tourist boats travel out to the islands.
We look forward to welcoming you to Helsinki from late July 2020 for what promises to be an exciting and valuable event ISME Forum pre-conference seminar. |
