The Laboratory of Intelligent Machines at the LUT has received EUR 600 000 in funding from the Finnish Funding Agency for Technology and Innovation TEKES to advance commercial applications of robot technology. The goal is to establish business activities in the field of robotics in Lappeenranta.

Green Campus

LUT has joined the International Sustainable Campus Network (ISCN). The network is a global forum that supports leading colleges, universities and corporate campuses in the exchange of information, ideas and best practices in different areas of sustainable development.

Gaming industry

Gaming industry companies consider the most important features of available tools to be the easy testing of concepts with working prototypes and features that help to ease programmers' workloads.

Local services

"The trend for developing services threatens to leave holes in the service system that weaken the availability of services from the point of view of the customers.

Together with centralised service production that is bound to a given location, more focus should be given to developing alternative channels to provide services to citizens, such as decentralising service production. Mobile services are one way of producing decentralised services", explains LUT's Associate Professor Jouni Koivuniemi.
