  • 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.

  • Leading a Fundamentally Detuned Choir: University of Tampere, Finland – a Civic University?
    [Draft chapter – will be published in Goddard, J., Hazelkorn, E., Kempton, L. & Vallance, P. The Civic University: the Policy and Leadership Challenges. Edwar Elgar.] Markku Sotarauta Leading a Fundamentally Detuned Choir: University of Tampere, Finland – A Civic University? 1 Introduction A university is an academic ensemble of scholars who are specialised and deeply dedicated to a particular branch of study. Often scholars are passionate about what they do, and are willing to listen only to those people they respect, that is their colleagues and peers, but not necessarily heads of their departments, faculties or research centres. Despite many efforts, university leaders more often than not find it difficult to make academic ensembles sing the same song. If a group of singers perform together, it is indeed a choir. A community of scholars is not necessarily so. Singers agree on what to sing and how, they know their sheets, and a choir leader conducts them. A community of scholars, however, is engaged in a continuous search for knowledge through the process of thesis and antithesis, debates, as well as conflicts and fierce rivalry – without an overarching conductor. Universities indeed are different sorts of ensembles, as scholars may not agree about what is and is not important for a university as a whole. By definition a university is not a well-tuned chorus but a proudly and fundamentally detuned one. Leadership in, and of, this kind of organic entity is a challenge in itself, not to mention navigating the whole spectrum of existing and potential stakeholders. Cohen and March (1974) see universities as ‘organized anarchies’, as the faculty members’ personal ambitions and goals as well as fluid participation in decision- making suggest that universities are managed in decidedly non-hierarchical terms, but still within the structure of a formally organised hierarchy.

  • Innovative Teaching and Learning Methods
    The Future of Engineering Education Parallel Sessions I Innovative Teaching and Learning Methods Time: 2 April 2020, 2pm – 4pm Venue: Congress Centre Darmstadtium Abstract The session will start with presentations of a wide variety of innovative teaching and learning tech- nologies and methodologies. The talks deal with virtual reality (VR) and open source technology, vir- tual exchange programs between partner universities, students solving tasks in interdisciplinary teams, and train the teacher in a way that they can awaken enthusiasm among students for technical issues. After the presentations, all participants will actively be involved to discuss the influence these new methodologies and technologies have on the organization as a whole and the student and teacher specifically. Among other questions: Does the use of new technologies influence the skills teachers need to adapt to these new technologies? Which social skills are necessary to train the stu- dent to face the societal challenges of the future? Keywords and concepts Virtual reality, New Technologies in Teaching, Motivational Methods Contributors Professor Albert Albers (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, KIT) Professor Albert Albers has been head of the IPEK – Institute of Product Engineering since 1996. After his studies of mechanical engineering at the University of Hannover from 1978 to 1983, Albers had an assistantship at the Institute of Machine Elements and Engineering Design and obtained his doctorate in 1987. From 1986 to 1988 Albers had a position as a senior engineer at the Institute of Machine Elements and Engineering Design at the University of Hannover until he started his career in industry at LuK, a company of the Schaef-er-Group with focus on clutch- and gear-systems.
