Research and development at TAMK

At Tampere University of Applied Sciences, research, development, innovation and competences (RDIC) combine our multidisciplinary expertise and modern learning and innovation environments with the needs of our cooperation partners and society. The social perspective is essential in all TAMK’s RDIC activities. We are developing new and extensive solutions for regional, national and global needs. We apply the latest research into working life. We cooperate with both companies and the public sector.

What is RDIC?

Our RDIC activities solve problems, create new possibilities and foresee future needs. We research, experiment, test and evaluate together with higher education institutions, companies, communities and the public sector. We promote a more sustainable and just world in a range of fields from health, business and technology to learning, creativity and social involvement.

RDIC activities create new possibilities, innovative ideas, concepts, business solutions, products, services and processes nationally and internationally. We help SMEs in commercialising their ideas. It is also important for us to promote the establishment of new spin-off companies.
