Speaker application is open until April 1 for TEDxUniversity of Tartu.

Last year, two applications submitted by University of Tartu researchers were successful in the call for postdoctoral fellowships funded by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA).

Tartu Ülikooli õigusteaduskonna karistusõiguse osakond kutsub õigusteaduskonna üliõpilasi, õigusteadlasi ja juriste Balti Kriminoloogia Seminarile “Globaalsed väljakutsed ja kohalikud vastused: kuritegevus, õigusemõistmine ja sotsiaalne kontroll”, mis toimub 11.-12- juunil Tartu Ülikooli raamatukogus.

In the recent call for the European Research Council (ERC) Consolidator Grants, University of Tartu researchers received funding for three projects: to study the climate impact of air pollution particles, the formation of cell patterns in plant leaves, and women’s hormonal sensitivity. Each grant amounts to nearly two million euros, and the projects last for five years.

A recent overview published by the Estonian Research Council (ETAG) reveals that Estonia has performed exceptionally well in the European Union’s framework programme for research and innovation, Horizon Europe (2021–2027). Among Estonian institutions, the University of Tartu has been the most successful participant in the programme, receiving almost €90 million in funding.

On 23 May 2025, Minister of Education and Research Kristina Kallas approved the results of the external evaluation of Estonian research and development. The University of Tartu was the only institution in Estonia to receive a positive evaluation in all six fields: natural sciences, engineering and technology, medical and health sciences, agriculture and veterinary sciences, social sciences, and humanities and the arts.

Doctoral studies are a part of the career path, giving you the knowledge and future skills needed to become a top specialist or manager.

Led by the Dean’s Office of the Faculty of Social Sciences and the Centre for Sustainable Development of the University of Tartu, a guidance material has been developed for researchers on how to conduct interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research.
