Helsinki - Petrozavodsk air connection

Important updates to our travel info page. Firstly, 'Severstal-avia' air company (https://severstal-avia.ru/en/) will start flights between Petrozavodsk and Helsinki from the first decade of May 2020. Two flights within a week (Monday and Friday) are announced. The expected fare is 5500 rubles (about 80 euros). The exact schedule has not yet been published, but anyway it may change by the time of the symposium, so do not forget to follow the news.

Secondly, as announced in a press release of the Ministry of Transport of Karelia, the new terminal of the Petrozavodsk airport should be introduced by the 100th anniversary of the Republic of Karelia, which we will celebrate on June 8, 2020. Thus, the chances of its inauguration by the time of our symposium in September can be evaluated as encouraging.

Getting started

Today we start sending out the first circulars of our symposium. Do not forget to help the organizing committee with forwarding the Symposium information among your colleagues. Although we already have a good core of potential participants, we strive for continuous expansion. In particular, this time we decided to pay more attention to reports related to animals of the mires, so feel free to notify your zoologists. A separate direction, which may result in more than one section, is the influence of mires on climate and effect of climate on mires. Reports on contemporary methods for mire exploration would also be of great interest.

We hope that with your help we will be able to hold the best mire symposium ever!
