Their innovation, a 3Dprinted reversible fuel cell, can operate either as a fuel cell or as an electrolyser. This means that the same cell can produce electricity from hydrogen and hydrogen from electricity. SMART+IONS, a university spinoff founded in 2025, is now commercialising this technology.Wed, 23 Sep 2026 11:07:08 +000074334 https://tuni.fi/en/towards-even-more-responsible-tampere-universities-community-updated-roadmap-publishedThe Tampere Universities Community has updated its sustainability and responsibility roadmap for 2026–2030. In addition to environmental issues, sustainability and responsibility work also covers other activities of the community. In the updated roadmap, social and economic sustainability as well as responsible use of artificial intelligence are highlighted more strongly alongside environmental goals.Tue, 22 Sep 2026 06:17:29 +000074297 https://tuni.fi/en/tau/news-and-events/language-centre-celebrates-50-years-teaching-courageous-communicationAs the Language Centre celebrates its 50th anniversary, it continues to provide language and communication courses for all students at Tampere University to help them develop into courageous and confident communicators.

In his current teaching and research, many of the longstanding questions of information studies, including those related to information retrieval, relevance and information interaction, are being reexamined in the age of AI.Fri, 18 Sep 2026 13:38:14 +000074201 https://tuni.fi/en/tau/news-and-events/digital-care-should-sustain-human-interaction-not-reduce-it-one-wayDigital healthcare services should be designed as platforms where patients and healthcare professionals interact, rather than merely as channels for the exchange of information. A policy recommendation by the PROSHADE research consortium highlights the importance of preserving interaction within digital healthcare services.Fri, 18 Sep 2026 12:34:32 +000074185 https://tuni.fi/en/tamk/news-and-events/doctoral-researcher-arto-koskinen-people-are-ones-who-live-and-experience-andWhen screenwriting students try to be original by imitating films they have seen, the result often feels hollow. Arto Koskinen, Senior Lecturer in Screenwriting and Directing at Tampere University of Applied Sciences and a film director himself, explores in his doctoral research how students own experiences and strong emotional traces can be turned into fuel for storytelling. He is also interested in how artificial intelligence can best support the creative process as a sparring partner.Tue, 08 Sep 2026 12:28:08 +000073972 https://tuni.fi/en/tau/news-and-events/capital-celiac-disease-promotes-understanding-through-sustainedCeliac disease is a complex autoimmune condition that requires lifelong dietary management, and researchers continue to seek more effective and personalised treatment options. Research on the disease has a long history at Tampere University, helping to establish it as one of the world's leading centers in the field. A key factor behind this success is a unique research environment where celiac disease is examined from an exceptionally wide range of perspectives.Wed, 16 Sep 2026 06:45:31 +000074088 https://tuni.fi/en/tau/news-and-events/bridging-waves-and-circuits-dr-han-zhou-energy-efficient-ai-driven-radioAt Tampere University, Assistant Professor Han Zhou is developing energyefficient RF integrated circuits and AIassisted design methods that address the growing challenges of 6G communications, millimeterwave technologies, and quantum computing, helping pave the way for faster, more sustainable, and more intelligent hardware systems.Thu, 17 Sep 2026 06:51:24 +000074217 https://tuni.fi/en/tau/news-and-events/paavo-v-suominen-fund-donates-eur500000-support-education-refrigerationTo mark its 50th anniversary, the Paavo V. Suominen Fund has donated 500,000 to support education in refrigeration engineering at Tampere University and to advance the development, modelling and characterisation of lowtemperature technologies. These technologies play an important role in developing advanced energy storage solutions, improving the efficiency of industrial processes and addressing the growing cooling demands of emerging quantum technologies.Mon, 14 Sep 2026 05:30:00 +000074012 https://tuni.fi/en/tau/news-and-events/research-mysticism-helps-build-bridges-among-religions-era-polycrisisThe PRISM research program coordinated by Tampere University has distributed 3.8 million in grants to researchers and science communicators to explore mysticism. In 2025–2026, funding was awarded to 18 cuttingedge projects and research groups around the world. The aim of the projects is to deepen our understanding of mysticism within the largest global religious traditions.Tue, 15 Sep 2026 06:15:21 +000074154
