The Academy of Finland’s Research Council for Natural Sciences and Engineering has granted 3.5 million euros of funding to new Academy Projects at the University of Eastern Finland.

The main prize and the prizes of other competition categories were awarded at the Award Gala, held at Joensuu Science Park, on 24 May 2023.

The lecture topics range from radiation biology to forest planning, and from pharmaceutical policy and brain health to literature and education.

The research infrastructures of the University of Eastern Finland have been added to the national Research.fi portal, and they are also increasingly visible on the university’s own website.

This year’s Best Master’s Thesis Award in Optics at the University of Eastern Finland was presented to Duc Huynh, Elvis Pillinen and Miika Suhonen.

The methods developed in the PhD study serve as the basis for further development of near real-time brain tissue classification systems.

According to Professor Tommi Hakala, nanophotonics is a field of science that aims at smaller optical devices and diverse harnessing of light for technology.

Imaging, light and the extended reality technology meet in the multidisciplinary Erasmus Mundus Japan programme.

Erasmus Mundus programme brings together European universities and global research and business partners in a unique way.

The Faculty of Science and Forestry will change its name to the Faculty of Science, Forestry and Technology, effective from 1 January 2023.
