In this instalment of the INGENIUM podcast - the last covering the 10 Days of INGENIUM Winter School at XAMK’s Mikkeli campus 🇫🇮 - we speak with Dr Eeva Kuoppala about the various planning, themes, and behind-the-scenes efforts that brought this international event to life as well as to find out more about XAMK.
