Imagine if neurons damaged in a spinal cord injury could be coaxed to regrow and reconnect, or if cancer could be detected at the very moment it begins to form and prevented altogether through precision medicine. Achieving such advances demands many layers of fundamental knowledge. The CMP Research Centre at Tampere University is working to build that foundation.Thu, 12 Feb 2026 13:19:23 +000070045 https://tuni.fi/en/tau/news-and-events/autism-related-repetitive-behaviour-may-support-childs-self-regulationAutistic children often exhibit behaviour patterns that help them manage overload, emotions, and signals from the environment. A recent study conducted at Tampere University gained new evidence that restricted and repetitive behaviour does not necessarily only reflect challenges but may also support selfregulation.Tue, 20 Oct 2026 06:45:54 +000074876 https://tuni.fi/en/tau/news-and-events/humble-beginnings-forefront-social-robotics-finland-robostudio-teaches-newEver since its establishment eight years ago on Tampere Universitys Hervanta campus, the Robostudio has grown from the ground up into a unique hub of expertise in social robotics in Finland. While its social robots are sure to steal the spotlight during visits and events, the Robostudio also plays an important role in promoting robot literacy among learners of all ages. Aino Ahtinen, founder of the Robostudio, describes robot literacy as a new civic skill.Wed, 14 Oct 2026 06:01:40 +000074770 https://tuni.fi/en/tau/news-and-events/finnish-cardiovascular-research-center-wants-stay-one-step-ahead-heart-attackWhy does someone have a heart attack at a young age, and another does not even when their risk factors seem to be similar? The Finnish Cardiovascular Research Center FCRCT at Tampere University is investigating the reasons for the predisposition, starting from grandparents diet. The work is aided by the cuttingedge scientific discoveries of digital twins. The aim is to uncover risk factors at an earlier stage and tailor treatments more precisely.Mon, 19 Oct 2026 05:40:20 +000074833 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/investing-maternal-and-child-health-pays-every-euro-spent-prevention-generatesThe Tampere Center for Child, Adolescent and Maternal Health Research TamCAM at Tampere University focuses on studying effective, highimpact methods for promoting health from the womb to early adulthood. Beyond providing personalised guidance, treatment and support, we must advocate for broader societal changes to enhance the health of children and adolescents.Thu, 05 Jun 2025 12:53:27 +000064907 https://tuni.fi/en/tau/news-and-events/pioneering-hydrogen-technology-global-potentialA few years ago, researchers in renewable energy technologies at Tampere University achieved a major technological breakthrough in nextgeneration solid oxide fuel cells. 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/tau/news-and-events/six-story-lessons-learned-and-key-insights-publishedHow was a shared platform for industrial renewal built in Finland, bringing together industry, research organisations and public sector actors, and what lessons were learned along the way? A new publication, available in both Finnish and English, tells the story of the origins, growth and impact of the Sustainable Industry X SIX initiative, which aims to accelerate the digital and green transformation of Finnish industry.Thu, 08 Oct 2026 06:22:32 +000074683 https://tuni.fi/en/tau/news-and-events/1300-square-meters-cleanroom-space-hervanta-campus-tampere-universitys-sipfabA new hightech cleanroom is being built at Tampere Universitys Hervanta campus to develop nextgeneration semiconductors. The SiPFAB pilot line will offer approximately 1,300 square meters of cleanroom space, enabling the development and packaging of microelectronics and power electronics components in precisely controlled conditions.
