Inaugural lectures by newly appointed professors
Inaugural lectures are given by 20 newly appointed professors and professors of practice from all the faculties at the University. As last year, Tampere University hosts its inaugural lecture series in a virtual format. In the 15-minute lectures, the professors introduce their field and current research to a wider audience. The lectures are published on the University’s YouTube channel.
An inaugural lecture is a time-honoured academic tradition and a prestigious occasion for professors to present their research to the scientific community, external stakeholders, and the general public and for the University to welcome them to the campus community.
