The most active research currently focuses on antimicrobial activity of novel materials. Research is also carried out on regulatory issues on biological products, supply chain management of such products and their route to the market. In addition, research on engineering education is a central theme of the group and is ingrained into national and international initiatives on integration of entrepreneurship into engineering and technology education. Methods for online, computer supported education and virtual learning environments are also developed.
Research Group of Microbiology is lead by Prof. Katrina Nordström.
Unite! - University Network for Innovation, Technology and Engineering is a European University alliance with nine partner universities strengthening mobility of students and staff, and fostering the quality, inclusiveness and competitiveness of European higher education.
The event gathered together 140 teachers and staff from the seven universities to discuss the developments of Unite! teaching and learning activities including for instance joint programmes, flexible study pathways, and good pedagogical practices as well as creative virtual spaces for teaching and learning.
Promoting international teaching and studying is a central element in Aalto University strategy. Through Erasmus you can go on student or teacher exchange. It also enables staff mobility for training and for teaching.
Aalto's objective will be to promote entrepreneurship education at European universities of science and technology.
