Dear members of the GERIF-network!


We are happy to inform you that the GERIF network website is launched!  You can visit the page at:  https://gerif.home.blog/ On the website, we inform about upcoming academic events and publications in relation to global education. 



Also, the idea with the website is to serve as a platform where researchers can present themselves and get to know fellow researchers from different universities and research centers in Finland. Thus, we hope that all of you researchers on this mailing list would send us a brief description of yourself,  which will be published on the website. Please send the description to the following address:  gerif1blog@gmail.com. For inspiration, you can check out the presentations already published: https://gerif.home.blog/gerif-researchers/


We also kindly invite all of you to contribute with blog texts or book reviews for the website. Instructions for writers are found here: 
https://gerif.home.blog/instructions-for-writers/

Finally, we would like to remind you about the upcoming FERA Conference 21-22 of November in Joensuu. The GERIF network hosts a thematic group called Landscapes of Global Education. For more information see: https://www.uef.fi/en/web/kt-paivat2019/landscapes. After the session on Thursday 21st we will have a GERIF-network meeting to which you are all warmly welcome!

For any inquiries, please contact us at gerif1blog@gmail.com


On behalf of the network coordinators,
