Kansalaistiede - kaikkien mahdollisuus tehdä tiedettä

when did the era begin? When was Finland born, and who were the first inhabitants of Finland? Where does the human language originate? Determining the beginning has always been difficult. One can ask when a tradition, genre or creative idea was born. Does the beginning also determine the end or the other way around?

The 2023 Science Days book Alusta alkuun brings out perspectives that connect different disciplines. It charts historical developments and turning points, research openings and new beginnings, and also peeks into the future.

The book reveals the research, what new art offers to understand the loss of nature and the environmental crisis, and what opportunities or the utilisation of AI and citizen science open up for research. it also deals with the fair food revolution, urban planning and future technologies.
