On the Boundary – Mind, Nature, Fragility

CEUC 2023

Järvenpää, Finland - June 12-16th, 2023

We extend a warm welcome to the summer green Finland to celebrate The Conference of European University Chaplains (CEUC) on June 12th-16th, 2023! We will be staying in the city of Järvenpää, that is located by Lake Tuusula. The beautiful landscape was appreciated by the Finnish cultural personalities already in the beginning of the 20th century. We will pay a visit to the cultural sites of the capital, Helsinki, as well as its University campuses. We will also take a stroll in the Finnish nature.


After the years of the pandemic, it will be a great pleasure to meet with fellow colleagues and friends from all over Europe and other parts of the world, and enjoy each other’s company while enjoying the servings of the Church Educational Centre in Järvenpää.

Liberty, Legacy, Leadership


IACHE 2022

Sheffield, England • June 13-17th, 2022

The theme Liberty, Legacy, Leadership frames our exploration of how vibrant chaplaincies may contribute to university communities, asking:

- how academic freedom and religion and belief equalities intersect;
- what lessons must be learned from our learning and belief histories;
- what leadership styles—secular and religious—best suit our sector?
