Nordic Speech Research Forum

The Nordic Speech Research Forum is an initiative that brings together people interested in the broad area of speech research. The webinars offer 30–40-minute talks regarding current research in the Nordic context, featuring scholars at different career stages. From time to time, we have an opportunity to hear special guest talks by distinguished scholars. Since the forum’s launch in 2024, our special guests include Professors Kazuya Saito (University College London), Ocke-Schwen Bohn (Aarhus University), Tracey Derwing (University of Alberta), and Okim Kang (Northern Arizona University).

The forum convenes once a month during academic terms on varying weekdays and times. Upcoming and past webinars are listed below, with related materials attached. Please note that the webinars are scheduled in Helsinki time; check how your time zone relates to Helsinki. If you add the event to your electronic calendar, the time changes automatically to your own time zone.
