We are excited to announce the participation of several excellent invited speakers, from various European countries. The meeting will begin Wednesday morning with a workshop on desmoid tumors arranged by SSG together with EURACAN. The participants will get the opportunity to hear about the various diagnostic and therapeutic challenges of this disease and discuss some difficult cases. Basic research, diagnostics and treatment of bone- and soft tissue sarcoma will be extensively covered throughout the meeting. A session will be dedicated to immunotherapy, with a focus on why it has not been as effective in sarcomas as in other cancers and how to learn from that when designing new immunotherapy trials in sarcomas. As a new feature we will dedicate a session to give young Nordic PhD students from all disciplines to present their PhD projects. The idea is not (only) to present completed and finished projects but also projects in the process of being written to create discussions, generate ideas and help the young researchers liaise with other researchers and may be expand their projects and create future collaborations. We hope to receive a lot of abstracts with description of PhD projects for this session.

    rnmPERE TAMPERE GUIDE PUBLISHED BY THE MUNICIPAL BOARD OF TRAVEL TAMPERE A HISTORICAL SUMMARY HPhe vicinity of the city is of very old origin. The scientists consider its age in millions of years and the most parts of Finland are geologically the oldest in Europe. A little to the north of Tampere, in Aitolahti, the oldest rock in the world has been found. The history of Kinlands shows that a steadily resident Finnish popula- tion lived about Tampere already in the 6th century. On the Pyynikki ridge and along the shores of Pyhäjärvi-lake there have been pagan sacri- fices and not far from the city the remains of an old fortress have been found. Around the waterfalls of Tampere in very early times the traders of the interior already came to barter. This Was due to the excellent Water- ways, and in due time, although very late, the city was founded. This happened in 1779, during the reign of king Gustaphus 111 of Sweden. The first map shows 56 lots, but they had to be divided between 80 applicants and these formed the first population of the city-to-be. A map on the last page indicates how the city has grown since. The founder of the City, kintf Oustaphus 111 The waterfall was) from the of Sweden. very beginning the nucleus of Tampere. Several manufacturers tried to exploit its power, but only in 1783 the first real factory, a paper mill was founded. Its premises are now owned by the city. The biggest factory was foun- ded in 1820 by Finlayson, a Scotchman and it still bears his name.

    DEVELOPING CULTURAL TOURISM IN THE TAMPERE REGION Impact of Tampere Region Festivals and Cultural Attractions in 2013 Introduction In 2012–2014, Tampere Region Festivals – Pirfest ry and Innolink Research Oy carried out a survey on the regional economic impact of cultural tourism and the quality of tourist attractions in the Tampere region. The survey was carried out as a visitor survey combined with visitor information received from the attractions. It involved 37 member festivals of Pirfest ry/Tampere Region Festivals, 34 cultural and tourist attractions in the Tampere region and 13 hotels. The attractions surveyed were located in 10 different municipalities in the Tampere region. The list of participants is included at the end of this report. The visitor survey was completed by 13,523 people, so it was exceptionally extensive in scope. According to the survey, the festivals and attractions attracted a total of 2.5 million visitors, who contributed €253 million to the local economy. Of this, €139.3 million consisted of tourism income brought by tourists from outside the Tampere region and €113 million was local tourism income from within the region. The Finnish Tourist Board defines cultural tourism as follows: “Cultural tourism produces tourism products and services and offers them on business grounds to locals and people from else- where, respecting regional and local cultural resources. The purpose is to create great experiences and give people the chance to get to know these cultural resources, learn from them or participate in them. This strengthens the formation of people’s identity and their understanding and appreciation of both their own culture and other cultures.” MIKKO KESÄ, RESEARCH & SALES DIRECTOR AT INNOLINK RESEARCH OY, STATES THE FOLLOWING ON THE RELIABILITY OF THE SURVEY: The survey was completed by over 13,000 respondents, so recreational services; other spending).
