Annual Conference of Youth Studies

The Annual Conference of Youth Studies is our main event.

The Annual Conference of Youth Studies is the leading multidisciplinary conference for youth studies in Finland. It brings together researchers from various disciplines as well as professionals interested in youth studies. The conference has been held annually since 2002.

In 2024, the Annual Conference of Youth Studies will exceptionally not be held due to the Nordic Youth Research Symposium (NYRIS) (Visit an external site. The link opens in a new tab.) to be held in Tampere on 12-14 June 2024. The Finnish Youth Research Society is one of the organisers of the NYRIS2024 conference. The next Annual Conference of Youth Studies will take place in November 2025.
