Organisation

Tampere University is one of Finland’s most multidisciplinary higher education institutions. We develop solutions to tackle climate change, preserve the natural environment and improve the well-being and sustainability of societies.

Our University brings together research and education focusing on technology, health and society. Our collaboration with our partners is built on our strengths, unique combinations of disciplines and applied expertise.
