One approach to tackle the increasing costs is to reduce the amount of fibres and increase the amount of cheaper filler materials. But, how to keep the strength performance of the paper same with the reduced number of fibres and fibre-fibre bonds? http://www.tut.fi/en/about-tut/news-and-events/research-to-improve-cost-efficiently-the-performance-of-paper-in-end-use-applications-p034915c2 http://www.tut.fi/en/about-tut/news-and-events/algorithms-for-computationally-expensive-optimization-problems-p034426c2 Fashion chains struggle with long lead times and delays in the introduction of new styles and products. However, new research demonstrates that customers can get a personally designed and custom-made garment in their hands in around three hours. http://www.tut.fi/en/about-tut/news-and-events/personal-fashion-faster-p034842c2 Professor of Physics Martti Kauranen has been elected as a fellow of the Optical Society of America (OSA). http://www.tut.fi/en/about-tut/news-and-events/osa-fellow-designation-awarded-to-prof-martti-kauranen-p034834c2 http://www.tut.fi/en/about-tut/news-and-events/prof-vattulainen-enters-the-2nd-stage-of-academy-s-professorship-call-p034613c2 Tampere University of Technology (TUT) actively encourages entrepreneurship and the commercialization of innovations among researchers and students. http://www.tut.fi/en/about-tut/news-and-events/tut-prepares-students-for-entrepreneurship-p034608c2 Professors Kaisa Väänänen-Vainio-Mattila and Matti Vilkko from Tampere University of Technology (TUT) have received funding under the Academy’s call for proposals. http://www.tut.fi/en/about-tut/news-and-events/academy-of-finland-awards-8-million-euros-for-shok-research-p034444c2 The Department of Business Information Management and Logistics from Tampere University of Technology (TUT) has established a strategic research partnership with the Virtual Vehicle Competence Center based in Graz, Austria. http://www.tut.fi/en/about-tut/news-and-events/tut-joins-forces-with-virtual-vehicle-competence-center-p034273c2 The Board of the Academy of Finland has selected the research groups that will proceed to the second stage of the Academy’s Centre of Excellence call.
