The Global Climate Research Prize
The Global Climate Research Prize (GCRP) is a new international biennial award supporting researchers whose published work offers transformative and transboundary insights capable of advancing climate solutions within the coming decade.
Established jointly by Clare Hall at the University of Cambridge and LUT University, the GCRP showcases and supports research with the strongest potential to address urgent climate-driven challenges worldwide.

The System Earth Collegium
The System Earth Collegium (SEC) is a groundbreaking, long-term initiative designed to tackle the world's most challenging and complex menaces, such as climate change and diversity loss, freshwater scarcity, and energy crises.
Conventional policies and practices often nourish incremental progress and swift publication rather than risking for the radical innovations. The SEC aims to complement this paradigm by cultivating a new culture of scientific inquiry.
International Associations and Networks
LUT is a member of several international associations and networks. European University Association (EUA), Top International Managers in Engineering (T.I.M.E. Association) and Network of the Rectors and Deans of the Technical Universities in the five Nordic countries (NORDTEK) are among the most important ones.
Partners
LUT Brussels
LUT has an office in Brussels with the aim to enable operating as a member of different associations, improve already existing networks and find new one, increase international visibility, influence future framework programs, and increase LUT's external funding.
