Subject: Launch of the Nordic Speech Research Forum


Dear colleagues,

We would like to bring to your attention the launch of the Nordic
Speech Research Forum, a new Nordic webinar series!

The Nordic Speech Research Forum convenes online to hear about and
discuss interesting ongoing work in the broad area of speech research.
Invited speakers mainly represent Nordic scholars at different career
stages. In 2024, we will convene on varying weekdays and times to test
which meeting time would be optimal. The talks (30–40 mins) will be
followed by free discussion in a relaxed atmosphere.

In the launch, we have an amazing opportunity to listen to Professor
Kazuya Saito, University College London. Please join us and feel free
to spread the word!

What? Prof. Kazuya Saito’s talk: Having a good ear promotes second
language speech learning: Roles of auditory processing at perceptual,
cognitive & motoric levels + discussion.

When? Mon, Jan 22 at 13:00–14:00 Finnish time (UTC+2)

Where? Zoom: https://jyufi.zoom.us/j/61656736999

Also, please save the dates for the upcoming talks this winter/spring
and follow the forum’s website at https://jyu.fi/nsrf for updates.

(NNL2P). The current coordinators are Riikka Ullakonoja and Elina
Tergujeff from the JyU Speech Research Lab, University of Jyväskylä.
For 2024, the forum has received funding from the Finnish Association
