FROM UNIVERSITY PERSPECTIVE
“My whole way of thinking has changed due to the talent of young
people and their questioning of roles. Cooperation with companies and
universities works better than any other project I have been involved in.
At first, Demola was a nice spice, now it’s one of the main sources of
inspiration in my job as a researcher.”Pekka PuustinenResearcher,
Uni of Tampere
“Thanks to Demola, everyday operations in universities have
changed: internationality is not just about language, it’s also a
cultural thing.
Expanding the Demola concept to other countries also brings
new opportunities for students and universities.” Markku KivikoskiPresident
Tampere University of Technology
