Pizza and Pitching: TAMK–YRGO students Kicked off cross media Collaboration

YRGO–TAMK | 10 March 2026 Today marked an exciting milestone for the AV Growth cross border pilot as more than thirty higher education students from TAMK’s Games Academy and YRGO’s TV and Film Production programme came together for the first hybrid session of our film to game collaboration pilot. With students joining both online and on site (pizza boxes included at TAMK) the atmosphere matched the project’s core aim: creative exchange across disciplines, borders, and most importantly, media formats.

Adapting the Quadruple Helix Model for Responsible Packaging

As the ResPa – Consumers' role in responsible packaging project launched in Tampere two weeks ago, partners from across Europe stepped into a shared mission that stretches far beyond improving packaging materials or fine-tuning recycling systems. At its core, responsible packaging is not simply a technical challenge. It is a social, behavioural, and cultural transformation that touches the daily lives of individuals who choose, use, return, reuse, and engage with packaging throughout its entire life cycle.

Machine Safety and Cybersecurity: Cornerstones of Sustainable Manufacturing in the Green Transition

The green transition is not just about improving energy efficiency or reducing emissions. As industrial processes become increasingly digitalized and automated, machine safety takes centre stage—not only to protect workers but also to ensure sustainable development. Safe machines and processes minimize material waste, extend equipment lifespan, and prevent environmental harm. This is why machine safety and cybersecurity are critical pillars of the green transition. These themes were the focus of the first industry workshop organized under the Ohite project.

Creative Futures: UWS and TAMK

The work trip to Scotland came together quickly for us last spring. A student from the University of West Scotland’s music technology program first participated at their own expense in the co-writing week in Belgium, and then also joined TAMK’s Music Production co-writing week. They shared their experience, and by late spring Janne and Allan organized a visit to the university campus in the small town of Ayr on the west coast. Allan Dumbreck is a Deputy programme leader UWS BA (Hons) Commercial music which includes music technology and production. Allan has also worked as a session musician and spend over 30 years in music education.

Navigating Uncertainty in the B2B Buying and Selling Process

Uncertainty shapes every stage of the modern B2B buying journey. With information overload, complex decision-making and shifting environments, both buyers and sellers struggle to make confident choices. These themes were actively explored and enthusiastically discussed as part of the Sales Management Master’s programme (YAMK).

Making a Difference through an RDI Project

If you are a teacher, the idea of working in an RDI project might sometimes feel unattractive. You might think it is somehow trivial or boring paperwork that will not really benefit anyone in the end. Let me offer you another viewpoint through a recent example.

The Power of Collaboration in Digital Pedagogy and AI – Experiences from Rwanda

We travelled to Kigali to organize a Digital Pedagogy Training workshop at Rwanda Polytechnic as part of the HEP-TED project. The participants included members of the institution’s Digital Champions network as well as other teachers interested in digitalization, who act as pedagogical developers in their own organizations. Together, we reflected on how artificial intelligence is transforming teaching and learning – and what kinds of skills teachers and students will need in the future.
