  1. TUT – Tampere University of Technology • • Established in 1965 • • 11,600 students (2008) • • Collaborates with 270 universities around the world

  2. Tampere • The third largest city in Finland with over 200,000 inhabitants. One of Finland’s fastest growing urban centres and, according to a survey, the most popular city to live and study in. •Two universities: Tampere University of Technology and the University of Tampere with 30,000 students.

  3. Undergraduate students of technology in Finland in 2008

  4. TUT in numbers in 2008 • Degrees 882 • MSc (Tech/Arch) 809 • Licentiate and Doctor 73 • Students in total 11 626 • Undergraduate 9 964 • Postgraduate 1 662 • Total funding, EUR million 126 • Budget funding 82 • Supplementary funding 45

  5. Quality research on an international level • Leading-edge fields of research: • • Signal processing • •Nanophotonics • • Biotechnology • • Intelligent mobile machines • Centres of Excellence in Research appointed by the Academy of Finland: • • Signal Processing Algorithm Research Group (SPAG) • • Generic Intelligent Machines Research (GIM) together with Helsinki University of Technology

  6. Other main fields of competence • •Architecture and civil engineering • •Energy technology • • Computational methods for physical phenomena • • Machine and process automation, • production engineering • •Materials science • • Software systems • • Communications engineering and • electronics • • Production and knowledge management

  7. International university • Close to a thousand exchange and visiting students (2008). • • Over 100 students enrolled in the international MSc programmes in 2008. • •TUT employs 240 foreign nationals, of which 12 are professors. • • Collaborates with 270 universities around the world.

  8. Significant societal contributions • Forerunner in university-company collaboration. A considerable portion of total funding comes from supplementary funding, outside the budget of the Ministry of Education. • • The latest research results and technology are transferred to society through joint research and development projects with industry and companies and through new business ventures. • • Active regional activities in Western and Southern Finland and collaboration with other institutes of higher education.
