Enclosed please find the preliminary program for The 23rd International Puijo Symposium: “Physical Exercise for Health Promotion and Medical Care -Translation of Research Evidence to Everyday Practise” is organized by Kuopio Research Institute of Exercise Medicine and will be held from Jun 28 - Jul 01, 2021 at Finnkino Scala, Kuopio, Northern Savonia, Finland. Description: They would like to invite you to participate in the symposium as a guest speaker. Please notice that the title of your presentation is very preliminary, indeed. After finalising the program, our plan is to arrange a remote meeting for speakers of each session to ensure that any given session as a whole is comprised of presentations complementary to each other. Your travel expenses as well as your lodging costs during your stay in Kuopio will be covered by the organising committee. While they are unable to reimburse business class fares, we offer you a pleasant visit to Finland. We have preliminary plans to arrange some unofficial activities for any accompanying persons during the Symposium.   Previous symposia have met the highest international standards for excellence in exercise science research. They are confident that the 23rd Puijo Symposium will be no exception, and that you will enjoy joining us in Kuopio next year. We warmly encourage newcomers to visit our website www.puijosymposium.org for a glimpse of the atmosphere of previous symposia including photos and programs. What about Covid-19? they strongly hope that by the end of June 2021 the course of our life will have re-turned to normal, and Puijo Symposium will take place as planned. If not, we will readjust our plans and inform you about changes promptly. They hope you are in a position to accept our invitation. For the finalising of the program they would appreciate it if you could confirm your participation at your earliest convenience. Please direct your response to puijo.symposium@kultu.fi. Looking forward to hearing from you soon, and hope to see you in Kuopio in 2021.
