A recent study by the University of Eastern Finland shows that loneliness among middle-aged men is associated with an increased risk of cancer.

The University of Eastern Finland’s doctoral conferment ceremony at the Kuopio Campus is postponed to 9–11 June 2022 due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Kone Foundation has awarded, from its autumn 2020 calls, more than 1.5 million euros in grants to projects run by University of Eastern Finland researchers.

The pandemic may have normalised feelings of loneliness and made them more acceptable now that loneliness and social distancing are something that concern people in different life situations more than before.

The University of Eastern Finland secured a total of 3.9 million euros of research funding for five consortia.
