Aalto University nominated as a Nokia Bell Labs Distinguished Academic Partner

Cooperation strengthens in augmented intelligence and quantum technologies research.

Aalto University has been nominated as one of Nokia Bell Labs’ Distinguished Academic Partners (DAP).  Nokia Bell Labs seeks strategic cooperation with its academic partners in areas where Aalto University's expertise is world-class.

'The Distinguished Academic Partner program has been established by Nokia Bell Labs to bring the best and brightest minds together to solve the greatest human needs challenges,' says Julie Byrne, Nokia Bell Labs Distinguished Academic Partner Director.

'Aalto University is a world-leading partner and we are delighted to include them in our global network for delivering truly disruptive innovation, particularly in a broad range of 5G topics, from radio to analytics. We look forward to further strengthening our engagement with Aalto University through our DAP program', says Lauri Oksanen, Nokia Bell Labs VP Research and Technology.

'Aalto University is honoured to be nominated as a Nokia Bell Labs Distinguished Partner. The volume of cooperation between Nokia and Aalto has been significant over the years especially in communications engineering, but the DAP program will further strengthen our cooperation in the research areas like augmented intelligence and quantum technologies. Aalto University represents world class research in these fields. A good indicator for this is the frequently referred Shanghai ranking* where all mentioned Aalto research areas achieve excellent rankings', says Jyri Hämäläinen, professor, Dean of the School of Electrical Engineering.

*Shanghai ranking = The Academic Ranking of World Universities, ARWU

Milja Mieskolainen: The Schuman internship at the European Parliament exceeded my expectations

Milja Mieskolainen, a Master's student in Accounting at the Aalto University School of Business, had already considered applying for an internship in the European Union, but thought it would be too challenging to get an internship. In spring 2023, however, she noticed an advertisement for internships and decided to give it a try, as there was an interesting vacancy in the Economic governance and EMU Scrutiny Unit. Applying did not prove difficult either. Milja applied, got the job and started her internship at the European Parliament in October.
