A multidisciplinary research project at Tampere University shows that the design of buildings, neighbourhoods and public spaces plays a crucial role in shaping our social wellbeing. The project has recently received international recognition for its innovative approach.Thu, 25 Jun 2026 11:43:37 +000072894 Scientists discover hidden driver of urban air pollutionhttps://tuni.fi/en/tau/news-and-events/scientists-discover-hidden-driver-urban-air-pollutionResearchers from Tampere University and the University of Helsinki have identified an unexpected chemical process that may influence the formation of air pollution particles in urban environments. The study shows that nitric oxide NO – a pollutant primarily emitted by vehicles, power plants and other combustion sources – can promote the formation of aerosol particles, challenging a longstanding assumption in atmospheric science.Mon, 22 Jun 2026 11:07:08 +000072842 The Design for Disassembly approach holds promise for enhancing the economic and environmental performance of buildingshttps://tuni.fi/en/tau/news-and-events/design-disassembly-approach-holds-promise-enhancing-economic-and-environmentalA computational case study conducted at Tampere University has found that the reuse of concrete structures is both practical and costeffective over the long term when standardised components of uniform length are used. The findings indicate that a concreteframed block of flats designed for disassembly and reuse has a smaller carbon footprint over its entire life cycle than a timberframed block of flats built according to current construction practices.

Or maybe that is exactly why such research is needed. Kivistös research group is part of a new Research Council of Finland Centre of Excellence which is renewing philosophical approaches to understanding suffering. Recently appointed as an Academy Professor for a sixyear term, Kivistö studies scholarly texts as literature. In early modern universities, such texts constituted what we now call scientific knowledge.Wed, 17 Jun 2026 07:28:33 +000072746
