HIIT Retreat 26.-28.5.2003: HIIT ARU 2006

HIIT Retreat Objectives

Building on the experience of the successful Fuego Retreat event held in Spring 2002, the second HIIT Retreat event was run on May 26.-28., 2003 in the Sjökulla Education Centre.

The objective of the retreat is to offer an opportunity for representatives from industry to interact with HIIT senior researchers and to get a comprehensive view of HIIT's research and its future plans. Thereby, the retreat provides a significant contribution to the strategy process of HIIT as a whole and to the ARU in particular.
