TAMK International

Events, thought and goings-on at Tampere University of Applied Sciences (TAMK)

The EAIE conference and “The Rhythm of Revolution”

Glasgow and the EAIE Conference Glasgow hosted the largest conference and exhibition in our history to date, attracting more than 7,300 participants from over 107 countries. This milestone set the stage for a truly unforgettable event. This year’s event truly embodied the theme “The Rhythm of Revolution”, and the sense of community was unprecedented. Colleagues from different roles, nationalities and career stages examined the state of the world from every angle, bringing their own experiences and perspectives to the discussion to help build a better future. Together, we challenged established practices, forged new partnerships and embraced opportunities with courage and care. This was closing keynote speaker Lewis Iwu’s summary of the conference week in Glasgow, Scotland.

International entrepreneurship training encouraged young adults to learn by doing, network and explore entrepreneurship

Entrepreneurship can open new opportunities for young adults to find their place in working life, participate in society, and shape their own future. But succeeding as an entrepreneur takes more than a good business idea. It requires business understanding, networking skills, and the ability to work with people from different backgrounds. The international Succeed in Business project brought these elements together in a year-long entrepreneurship training programme designed to help young adults from Finland, Estonia, and Latvia strengthen their entrepreneurial skills and capabilities.

The Many Ways Individuals Contribute to TAMK’s Vision

Funded projects make a valuable contribution to TAMK. Alongside them, staff advance TAMK’s vision through international relationships, teaching initiatives, networks and public representation. How might we make these contributions more visible?

Diversity as a higher education superpower

Higher education teaching and guidance staff, together with a broad group of experts, encounter many different colleagues, students and stakeholder representatives in their daily work. In every situation, participants bring with them their own selves, experiences and preconceptions. We worked with these themes at The Hague University of Applied Sciences (THUAS) in spring 2026.

From Finland to Raleigh – Expanding Our Collaboration with NC State

Our recent visit to North Carolina State University (NCSU) was more than just a study trip. It was a reminder of how international collaboration, shared curiosity, and open discussion can drive both education and research forward. During a busy and inspiring week in Raleigh, we explored laboratories, met colleagues, and reflected on how our long-standing partnership can evolve for the future.

Hot Takes on Multilingualism in the most Romantic City in the World

When the summer was just around the corner, I was offered the opportunity to attend a UNINOVIS workshop in Paris at the end of June. I was happy to go and represent TAMK in the most romantic city of the world even though the event took place during my summer break. That was no issue at all, but other challenges arose as the worst heatwave in France’s recorded history the very same day as did I. Indeed, the UNINOVIS workshop held from 24 to 26 June coincided with the hottest days ever recorded in France.

Personal meetings and interaction with international partners provide the foundation for collaboration

The International Week at Kauno Kolegija in April 2026 offered opportunities to visit different campuses, participate in activities, discuss with international partners, and generate initiatives for future UNINOVIS cooperation. In this blog post, we discuss about collaboration from four perspectives: collaboration emerging through activities at the Arts Campus, the significance of communication in simulation-based teaching, fostering a sense of community through storytelling, and the role of personal meetings in initiating collaborative efforts.
