LUT University is the Land of the Curious
We are a community where curious people inspire curious people. The curious dive deep into their passion, and develop their thinking daily. Without curiosity, we cannot change the world. A curious person experiments, fails, and succeeds faster than others.
We address global challenges that matter and that others may consider impossible to solve. We do things differently. We look at things from unexpected perspectives, we question, and we search for solutions.
LUT is a trailblazer in promoting the energy transition and the regenerative use of natural resources and helps build resilient communities, industry, and businesses through data, research, and education. LUT's campuses are in Lappeenranta and Lahti, Finland, but its impact is global.
We have served as a forerunner – combining technology and business – ever since our inception in 1969. Our international community is comprised of over 9,000 students and experts engaged in scientific research and academic education.

Explore our scientific solutions
We solve global climate problems with our technology, business and social sciences research. We turn emissions into products by using water and air in e-fuel and protein production.
In addition, we recover resources from wastewater and respond to complex water treatment needs. Driving sustainable growth, creating value in a digital economy and advanced design, manufacturing and processing are also at the core of our research.
