Great to be at Suomen Maantieteen Päivät 2025 @helsinki.fi @geography.fi . As raised in introduction speech such national person to person events are of crucial importance for building a united geography community with local roots in a dispersed and fragmented academic world. Let the days begin!

Full day of sustainability strategies in Northern depopulating and remote localities with Nord+ IP course. Learning from @maaseuduns.bsky.social on sustainable villages, visiting Valtimon school of self-sufficiency,and being briefed on sust. strategies by PIKES/Nurmes and by Kainuu Regional Council.

Still possible to follow the ongoing public defence of our @uniuef.bsky.social and #HiMa student @tuuliareponen.bsky.social on "Moral communities in conflict". Extremely important topic in these disruptive times! www.uef.fi/en/event/tuu...

Took some time from thought to hardcopy but now our new book on Rescaling sustainability transitions is out. So just download the open access book and read some interesting chapters on the topic with examples from around the globe. Thanks to @uniuef.bsky.social
