by Heikki Helanterä 16 Sep '24

16 Sep '24

Dear all, there is no Biology seminar this Thursday – instead, as part of the Citizen Science week (https://www.oulu.fi/en/events/citizen-science-week) there is a special zoom session on bird ringing at 10 on Friday 20th – see info below! Cheers, Heikki Have you ever wondered how scientists track bird migration, monitor populations, and study bird behavior through bird ringing? Or maybe you've always wanted to ring birds but didn’t know where to begin? Join us online<https://oulu.zoom.us/j/66194349359> <https://oulu.zoom.us/j/66194349359> on September 20 at 10:00-12:00 for a special lecture by Jari Valkama from the Ringing Center to discover the purpose of bird ringing and learn how you can become a ringer yourself! We will provide guidance about the training, exams, and practical experience needed to become a licensed ringer. The lecture will also cover the ethical considerations involved in bird ringing, and specific techniques used in monitoring birds of prey in Finland. Zoom: https://oulu.zoom.us/j/66194349359

Citizen Science Week
by Ekaterina Karabanina 16 Sep '24

16 Sep '24

Dear colleagues and students, We would like to invite you to join us for the Citizen Science Week on September 16-23, 2024, in Oulu! Citizen Science Week is a new initiative designed to engage residents of Oulu - across all ages and backgrounds - in the essential task of biodiversity data collection. This collective effort is important for addressing many of today's pressing environmental challenges. It is also a unique opportunity to explore and identify the diverse species that surround us - many of which are often overlooked or unknown. Throughout the week, you will have the chance to expand and share knowledge, gain new experiences, and contribute to a deeper understanding of nature at both local and global levels. We invite you to be part of this exciting journey through a variety of activities: 1. Bioblitz events. Participate in two Bioblitz events where you will learn about various plants, animals and fungi while contributing to biodiversity mapping around the University of Oulu campuses and the Oulu River. 2. Course and workshop. Join our Critical Citizen Science course and an iNaturalist workshop, where you will learn how to easily identify various species using your smartphone and modern digital tools. 3. Special lecture on bird ringing. Attend a special lecture on bird ringing, where you will learn the importance of this practice in biodiversity studies. You will also discover how you can get involved and become an expert in the field. Please, find the detailed program of the event and registration links to the Opening and Closing Ceremonies on this webpage: https://www.oulu.fi/en/events/citizen-science-week . If you want to enjoy a cup of coffee and a piece of cake, please register until September 12, 2024, otherwise come and simply join the event 🙂 Feel free to share the event with your colleagues and friends, both in and out of the academia :) Looking forward to seeing many of you at Citizen Science Week! Katya, Mykyta, Jelena, Clem, Anatolijs. [cid:3367539e-ece3-466e-867c-8e52baefc439]<https://wildlifegenomics.wordpress.com/>

Summer school 2025
by Lumi Viljakainen 10 Sep '24

10 Sep '24

Hi, Please let me know if you are interested in offering lectures or a course at UO's summer school in the first two weeks of next August. Best wishes, Lumi From: Sanna Vierimaa <Sanna-Mari.Vierimaa(a)oulu.fi> Sent: torstai 5. syyskuuta 2024 13.53 To: Maarit Järvenpää <Maarit.Jarvenpaa(a)oulu.fi>; Saana-Maija Aho <saana-maija.aho(a)oulu.fi> Subject: Kesäkoulu 2025 In English below Hei, Oulun yliopisto tarjoaa taas ensi kesänä kesäkoulun elokuun kahtena ensimmäisenä viikkona. Kyselenkin nyt, 1. onko tiedekuntanne/ohjelmanne kiinnostunut tarjoamaan kurssin tai luentoja? Kyseessä voi olla esimerkiksi olemassa oleva kokonainen kurssi tai joukko temaattisia luentoja tai esim. ”taster sessions”. 2. Jos vastasitte myöntävästi: onko teillä ajatuksia mahdollisista aiheista/oppiaineista? Yksikkömme (Strategia- ja tiedepolitiikan yksikkö: STY) maksaa kulut sekä palkkion opettajille. Viime kesän ryhmästä kesäkoulun opiskelijat halusivat kuulla, miten tänne pääsee opiskelemaan ja yksi aikoi jo hakea. Kesäkoulu toimii siten myös hyvänä mahdollisuutena rekrytoida uusia opiskelijoita. Tänä vuonna panostamme markkinointiin jo nyt, joten jos teillä olisi sopivia kursseja tarjottavaksi kesäkouluun, niin ne pääsisivät ajoissa esille. Kesäkoulu järjestetään nykyisen suomenkielisen Kick-start-ohjelman rinnalla. Linkki vuonna 2023 käynnistettyyn verkkosivustoon https://www.oulu.fi/en/unioulu-kickstart-finnish-language-and-life STY vastaa yhteistyössä muiden yksiköiden kanssa kesäkoulun toiminnasta ja logistisista järjestelyistä. Jos teillä on kysymyksiä niin järjestämme mielellämme lyhyen tapaamisen (joko kasvokkain tai hybriditapaamisen). Sekä, jos teillä sattuu olemaan jo olemassa olevia kesäohjelmia, voisimme myös miettiä, olisiko mahdollista tehdä yhteistyötä. Liitteenä vielä tiedosto, joka avaa kesäkoulun etuja tiedekunnallenne. Odotan innolla yhteydenottoja ja mukavaa viikkoa! Ystävällisin terveisin, Sanna Dear All, Next summer, the University of Oulu will again offer a summer school during the first two weeks of August. 1. Is your faculty/programme interested in offering a course or lectures? This could be an existing full course or a set of thematic lectures or "taster sessions", for example. 2. If yes, do you have any ideas about possible topics/subjects? Our unit (Strategy and Science Policy Unit: STY) will pay all the costs and the teacher’s fees. Last summer's group of students wanted to know how to apply to study here and one was already planning to apply. The summer school is therefore also a good opportunity to recruit new students. This year we are already investing in marketing, so if you have any courses that would be suitable for the summer school, please let us know. The summer school will run alongside the existing Finnish-language kick-start programme. Link to the website launched in 2023 https://www.oulu.fi/en/unioulu-kickstart-finnish-language-and-life STY, in collaboration with other services, will be responsible for the operations, activities and logistical arrangements of the summer school. If there are any clarifications you might need, we will be happy to set up a brief meeting (either face-to-face or hybrid). Also, if you happen to have existing summer courses, it might be interesting to explore a way to join forces, rather than developing something new. Please kindly find the attached document which explains the benefits of the summer school for your faculty. I look forward to hearing from you and have a great week!
