  • Tampere University Speech by President Mari Walls at the Opening of the Academic Year on 10 September 2019
    1 Tampere University Speech by President Mari Walls at the opening of the academic year on 10 September 2019 Honoured guests, dear colleagues, alumni and friends of Tampere University. It is my great pleasure to welcome you all to celebrate the opening of our University’s first academic year! The idea to establish a unique new higher education community in Tampere can be traced back to more than five years ago when it was first formulated during discussions involving Kai Öistämö, Tero Ojanperä and Matti Höyssä, who presided over the Boards of the three Tampere- based higher education institutions, and then-Presidents of the institutions Kaija Holli, Markku Kivikoski and Markku Lahtinen. In spring 2014, the three institutions commissioned Stig Gustavson to identify areas where they could establish a leading international reputation and determine the necessary steps to achieve this vision. The 21 founding members signed the Charter of Tampere University Foundation on 20 April 2017. As set out in the Charter, the old, distinguished University of Tampere and Tampere University of Technology were to be merged to create a new university with the legal status of a foundation. The new university was also to become the majority shareholder of Tampere University of Applied Sciences. The agreement whereby the City of Tampere assigned its ownership of Tampere University of Applied Sciences Ltd to Tampere University Foundation was signed on 15 February 2018. Our new Tampere University started its operations at the beginning of this year. Today marks the 253rd day since the launch of the youngest university in Finland and in Europe.

Sen lisäksi että saamme nauttia maailman puhtaimmasta vedestä, se tarjoaa meille ympärivuo- tisen virkistäytymisen muun muassa uinnin, veneilyn 4 tai kalastamisen muodossa. Maisema on kuin postikortista. Järvimaisemaa par- vekkeeltaan ihastellessa saattaa jopa unohtaa, että asuu kaupungissa. Kaupunkiasuminen ei tarkoita, että omista ehdoistaan tulee luopua. Santalahti yhdistää unelman urbaanista asumisesta järvimaise- masta tinkimättä. Santalahdesta muodostui aikanaan keskeinen teol- lisuusalue sijaintinsa ansiosta Näsijärven rannalla, Tampereen keskustan kainalossa. Tulitikkujen, pa- perin ja pahvin valmistus kukoisti ja alueen yritykset olivat suuri paikallinen työllistäjä. Santalahden vanhat tukkilaiturit ovat sittemmin kadonneet ja teollisuus alueella lakannut. Tilalle on syntynyt hiekkaranta, venesatama ja suuri virkistäy- tymiselle pyhitetty puisto.
