UTUTECH IAP: Sustainable Development in Materials Engineering
TIME 15.5.2024 at 09.00-14.00
PLACE University of Turku, Quantum building, 20500 Turku, QA Auditorium
This Industry Affiliate Program (IAP) event introduces Materials Engineering at the University of Turku and invites industries to learn about our research and teaching. Materials Engineering is still a newcomer at the University of Turku: the degree program in this field that started in 2020 will graduate its first MSc (Tech.) degrees in 2025.
Besides hearing about our operation, this event is an opportunity to form collaborations — come to discuss about ideas for joint research projects, masters’ thesis project opportunities, curriculum development, guest lectures, mentoring, etc.
Sign up for the event by 8.5.2024. Unfortunately this event is cancelled

UTUTECH Industry Affiliates Programme is an umbrella for the Faculty of Technology's industrial collaboration activities.
IAP is a series of events that brings together academy and industry. Annually, we host two main events that highlight our current research. These events are an opportunity to network with UTUTECH researchers and shape the way we work together on joint research projects, thesis work, student recruiting, and curriculum development.
