INNOVATION, FINLAND, TAMPERE UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY, & ENGINE PROJECT Irek Defée Tampere University of Technology Tampere, Finland [email protected] FINLAND COUNTRY - GEOGRAPHY • 338 000 km2 • 10% lakes • 80% forests • rocky terrain • limited resources COUNTRY - POPULATION • 5.4 mln people • 6% swedish speaking • Sami minority Lapland • History COUNTRY – HISTORY • ….. • 1809 • 1863 • 1917 • 1939 • ….. COUNTRY – ECONOMY • • • • • Difficult natural conditions GDP 34 000 €/m Unemployment 8.5% Export 53 mld € Public debt 57% PKB Economic growth Public debt ECONOMIC PROBLEMS • Unveiled 2013 • Structural character • Decline of several industrial sectors: - Paper - Ship-building - Nokia • Too little industrial diversification • SME sector too small • Public sector lagging: too costly WHY HAS NOKIA FALLEN? • Nokia growth phase • Leading corporation phase • Phase of operational signs of decline • Systemic factors – decline inevitable? • What remains is NSN: Nokia Solutions and Networks, cellular infrastructure company with significant resources EDUCATION AND R&D SECTOR • R&D sector is 3.7% GDP: - total 7 mld € - in which1.4 mld € university part - world leading • Higher education is only public - limits on the number of students - financial support for students - study time is becoming restricted INNOVATION SECTOR • Finland has a highly advanced innovation organisation system: - National Technology Agency TEKES supports development - Academy of Finland – academic research financing - State Research Center VTT INNOVATION ENHANCEMENT • Critical evaluation: No top-class applied innovation in Fin/EU (Google-likes) • University sector behind • One top university created: - Aalto University Helsinki • Huge emphasis on university startups - creation of environment - reorganization of studies Faculty of Computer and Electrical Digital Media Laboratory Engineering TUT Sunday, May 7, 2017 UNIVERSITIES – CURRENT STATUS • Reforms: organisational, structure, financing, education • Organisation - Legal independence e.g. foundation - Foundation capital - State financing negotiable - Profesorowie employed by foundation - Infrastructure rented from state CURRENT STATUS • Faculties and departments • Department – profit center – min. 10 professors • New staff recruitment: Tenure track 4levels, global search • Results evaluated on a very broad basis • Bureacracy and formalization increased EDUCATION • System had huge number of choices, this has been eliminated • Reduction of courses by 50% • Computer engineering not popular • Reductions of personnel • Master level studies exclusively in English till 2020 • New concept for education in development TAMPERE UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY • 10 500 students, personnel 2000 • 1 500 from abroad • Budget 148 mln €, 50% external sources • Foundation capital 137 mln € • Faculties: Computing and Electrical Engineering Engineering Sciences Faculty of Natural Sciences Faculty of Business and Built Environment COMPUTING AND EE • Departaments: - Electronics and Communications Engineering - Department of Signal Processing - Department of Electrical Engineering - Department of Pervasive Computing TUT INNOVATION ENHANCEMENT • New concept for education • Creating innovative environment • Emphasis on creativity and startups • Startups - part of study process KAMPUSARENA KAMPUSARENA DEPARTMENT OF SIGNAL PROCESSING - 12 Professors - Total Personnel ~150 - 25 MSc/y - 10 PhD/y - Budget 6 mln €/y Department of Signal Processing MAJOR AREAS Multimedia Image and Video Processing ComputationalSystems Biology, Health Informatics Speech and Audio Digital Signal Processing MULTIMEDIA MAJOR AREAS CONTENT BASED IMAGE RETRIEVAL NEW FORMS OF INTERACTION VIDEO COMPRESSION, 3D MUSIC PROCESSING INNOVATION IN SIGNAL PROCESSING EDUCATION • INFORMATION FOR STUDENTS • SIGNAL PROCESSING INNOVATION PROJECT • ACCEPTING OF MOOC (Massive Open Online Courses) COOPERATION WITH WROCŁAW • • • • NATURAL INTERFACES FACE EXPRESSIONS/ EYE TRACKING EXPANDING THE RANGE OF GESTURES TECHNOLOGY IMPROVEMENTS NATURAL INTERACTION • BASED ON VISUAL/ACOUSTICAL I/O • VISUAL: - BODY GESTURES KINECT - HAND GESTURE INTEL ICC - HAND GESTURE LEAP MOTION - FACE EXPRESSIONS ??? APPLICATIONS • SKELETON FUNCTIONS AVAILABLE • APPLICATIONS OUTSIDE UI AND GAMING - REHABILITATION - TRAINING Kiitos – Thank you - Dziękuję
