18 - 21 August 2026 - European Conference on Educational Research
City of Tampere – The Vibrant Heart of Finland

Surrounded by two large lakes that give the city its distinctive atmosphere of natural peace, Tampere (pop. 260,000) is a vibrant regional capital with an active cultural life and a versatile event scene. A big city by Finnish standards, Tampere still manages to feel like a small town. In the compact city centre, everything is within a convenient walking distance. For multiple years in a row, the Finns have voted Tampere as the favourite city in Finland.
The City of Tampere is an important supporter and partner in organizing the ECER 2026 conference.
