The Industrial Day brings natural sciences and businesses together at the Paviljonki
The need for expertise among naturalists and mathematicians is growing rapidly as global technological and environmental challenges are tackled. The Industrial Day networks the companies and researchers and has previously received enthusiastic reception from participants.
This year, more than 30 companies or stakeholders, 30 research groups and more than one hundred undergraduate students studying biological and environmental sciences, physics, chemistry, mathematics and statistics will participate in the event.
“This is an exhibition type networking event where companies can get acquainted with the expertise of the research groups. At the same time, researchers can find out what are the current problems in the companies and what competence is needed. This can lead to fruitful cooperation.” says the event’s organizer, Suvi Harsunen, Business Services Manager at the Ģֱ's Faculty of Mathematics and Science.
The forms of cooperation can be diverse: from one measurement or pilot project into larger joint projects. Students may find companies with a graduate topic or a subject for dissertation research.
Students get acquainted with employing companies and companies can market themselves as an employer.
Research from Antiviral Materials to Circular Economy and Functional Molecules
Research groups from each department of the Faculty: Biological and Environmental Sciences, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics and Statistics and Ģֱ Nanoscience Centre will participate the Industrial Day.
Research topics for the groups include for example:
- Antiviral and antibacterial materials
- Utilization of viruses in cancer treatments and treatments of antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections
- Parasites and diseases of fish and cultivation and use of mussels as nutrient catchers
- Plastic circular economy
- Low carbon solutions, exploitation of biomass and recovery of critical raw materials from industrial side streams
- X-ray tomography and its industrial applications
- Industrial applications of Accelerator Laboratory
- Causality and missing data
- Ion sources
- Functional molecules and materials
- Carbon nanotubes
- Superconducting materials
- Computational catalysis and electrocatalysis
- Nanoscale manufacturing and imaging methods
The Circular Economy Skills Centre, the Nanoscience Centre, and the Accelerator Laboratory will also be presented at the event.
The Industrial Day of the Faculty of Mathematics and Science will be on Thursday 10.11.2022 from 10am to 6pm. Registration for the event has ended. The media will have access to the event by notifying the organizing group in advance.
