CERN has admitted Estonia as its full member. For the University of Tartu, this means expanding its existing research, education and business collaboration opportunities.
Over the next seven years, the government will fund ten centres of excellence addressing scientific issues of importance to Estonia. The University of Tartu has tight connections with all of them.
Estonia's research and economy would have much to gain from closer cooperation with the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). However, this requires more thoughtful funding in the field of science in Estonia, which would ensure both the stability of research and a steady supply line of young researchers.
The task force of CERN meets with the University of Tartu’s Rector Toomas Asser, and pays a visit to the university’s Institute of Physics, the Institute of Technology and the Delta centre today.
University of Tartu starts the project "Climate awareness from school to society: empowering children, youth and teachers to reduce the effects of climate change" with partners.
