Tampere University will coordinate two of the funded consortia and participate as a partner in a further two. The projects aim to strengthen and promote public mental health in Finnish society.Thu, 10 Sep 2026 06:52:07 +000074013 https://tuni.fi/en/tau/news-and-events/new-study-challenges-myth-lonely-translatorMarie Curie Research Fellow Raphael Sannholm studies how institutional translators jointly process information through interaction. His ongoing research examines the work of EU translators and will result in the development of new theoretical models that can be applied to workplace studies. Sannholm also hopes that the findings will inform translator education and training.Wed, 09 Sep 2026 06:54:50 +000073997 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/research-identifies-regulatory-barriers-transition-circular-economyAlthough ambitious circular economy targets have been set for the built environment, current regulations and local urban development models do not sufficiently support the development and implementation of circular economy innovations. A doctoral dissertation to be publicly examined at Tampere University finds that the transition to a circular economy requires substantial reforms to the regulatory framework governing construction, environmental assessment methods and urban development practices.Mon, 07 Sep 2026 12:48:31 +000073858 https://tuni.fi/en/tau/news-and-events/tampere-university-applied-materials-and-european-partners-demonstrate-brainAn international research team, led by Prof. Sayani Majumdars CMOS and Beyond: Devices and Systems group at Tampere University, has achieved a major breakthrough in hardware for artificial intelligence AI. By engineering ultrathin ferroelectric capacitors capable of precise multibit data storage, the researchers developed a braininspired computing architecture that significantly reduces both energy consumption and the physical size of the chips compared to conventional microchips.

In their doctoral dissertations, Sanna Vanhanen and Minna Seppälä examined inclusion from different perspectives. We asked them how a sense of belonging affects learning and how equal learning opportunities are reflected in later life.Fri, 04 Sep 2026 12:02:22 +000073855 https://tuni.fi/en/tau/news-and-events/studying-futures-do-not-exist-yet-oguz-oz-buruk-uses-play-explore-whatMost researchers try to reduce uncertainty. Associate Professor Oğuz Oz Buruk does the opposite. At Gameful Futures Lab, as part of the Research Centre of Gameful Realities, he studies future technologies by making research more playful, unpredictable, and experimental.Wed, 05 Aug 2026 10:50:13 +000073079 https://tuni.fi/en/tau/news-and-events/professor-mervi-kaukko-wins-prestigious-erc-starting-grant-research-learningThe European Research Council ERC has awarded an ERC Starting Grant to Mervi Kaukko, Professor of Multicultural Education at Tampere University.
