A total of 18 researchers from the fields of technology, health and society will join Tampere University’s research collegium this autumn. During a two-year research period, they will have the opportunity to focus on their research without distractions and thus progress to the next level in their careers.

The research collegium posts were advertised internationally, and 622 applications were received.

Established this year, the new research collegium covers all the disciplines represented at Tampere University. Tampere Institute for Advanced Study, Tampere IAS, is the University’s investment in the advancement of scientific knowledge.

“Without highest-quality research we would not be the University we want to be. Discussions with the scholars appointed to the posts have convinced me that we will hear more about all of them in the future,” says Director Juha Teperi from the collegium.

The appointed researchers are
