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.

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.

PTSD Is Treatable: What an International CPT Seminar Brought to TAMK

Post-traumatic stress disorder is treatable, and effective, evidence-based methods already exist to support recovery. One of them is Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), a structured treatment approach developed by Professor Emerita Patricia A. Resick of Duke University and widely recommended for PTSD treatment. In May, three TAMK experts took part in an international seminar in Tampere organized by Tampere University to deepen their understanding of CPT and its relevance for education, research, and professional practice at TAMK. The seminar offered not only updated knowledge, but also new perspectives on how trauma expertise can be strengthened and shared.

On the Stage with Neuroscientists – Behind the Scenes of the Masters’ Conference

Students join the discussion on brain health. Brain health has become a topic of universal interest. Both traditional and new media often present it through clickbait headlines or with information that is superficial – or even misleading. Tampere University of Applied Sciences, TAMK, acted on this current theme by organizing the Masters’ Conference: Brain Health in Working Life in early October. The conference brought together international experts to explore brain health from the perspective of working life.
