Link with the Strategic Plan
High quality research is conducted at Tallinn University of Technology, giving rise to applications, teaching and learning as well as research-intensive innovation. Our research outcomes are published in high quality journals, and theses defended at the university are mostly based on said research.
We support sustainable, responsible and high-level research groups which make a significant contribution to teaching and serving the society.
The university runs seamless and cost-efficient support services in order to support and better integrate high quality studies, research and innovation.
University environments, both physical and virtual, are convenient and sustainable. They attract top performers to work and study at the university, and facilitate interactions with former members of the university community, prospective students and businesses.

Status
Project is being launched
Update the overview of the research infrastructure and map it based on its functions to plan (cross-)utilization, investment needs, and in-house and out-of-house services. At present, the university does not have a central overview of research infrastructure, its condition, depreciation, employment, and the need for investment. In addition, there is no central overview of the missing but necessary research infrastructure. Therefore, it is difficult to make informed central decisions regarding the use and planning of the budget. The project will result in a digitized overview of the research infrastructure based on functional units.
Project benefits
A comprehensive mapping of research infrastructure based on functional units is created. There is an overview of the need for investment, the need for development, and the need to write off, which supports the management decisions regarding the university’s budget and budget strategy.
