Getting familiar with the Uninovis Alliance

TAMK’s international week, Eye on TAMK, has already become a tradition. Every other year in March hundreds of colleagues from across the world flock into Tampere to hear about the latest trends in teaching and learning. This year an entirely new track was introduced to the program, namely that of Uninovis. Since January 2025 TAMK has been part of the European Universities Alliance Uninovis, comprising seven higher education institutions. Eye on TAMK provided a great backdrop for the Uninovis partners to spread the word about the alliance and meet each other to discuss future actions.

Internationalisation and international mobility are important areas at TAMK so my teacher exchange with the University of Staffordshire, in the United Kingdom, was a valuable experience.

The main goal of my exchange was to deepen the relationship with the University of Staffordshire and consider different possibilities for future co-operation in education science and teacher education.

International work-related travel is not just about hopping on a plane and “seeing what happens.” Oh no—it's a delicate dance of meetings, delegation dynamics, unexpected surprises, and perhaps a suitcase full of goodwill (and hopefully, snacks). Here are some “theses” for surviving, thriving, and occasionally laughing your way through international travel.

Food waste turn into valuable products and strong sustainability

During our trip to Namibia as a part of the Circular Economy Models in Namibia: Capacity building project we had an opportunity to visit a local training centre in Swakopmund. In our visit we discovered a circular economy ecosystem which appears as a good example of strong sustainability covering environmental, economic and social elements. We also learned a punch of good practices on how to create value for local actors and communities from circular economy.
