With Tallinn University of Technology and Cybernetica on board, this centre is certainly unstoppable.

Personalized Medicine

The Centre of Excellence for Personalized Medicine targets health issues in an aging population by developing disease risk models, using individual background, living conditions, and cultural factors. By identifying biomarkers associated with disease, this centre hopes to improve patient outcomes and enable preventative measures.

Population and Culture

The Centre of Excellence in Transdisciplinary Studies on Ethnogenesis and Cultural Diversity brings together humanities scholars, scientists, and institutes like Tallinn University of Technology and the Estonian Museum of Literature to delve into the origins of cultural and genetic diversity in Estonia and neighboring regions. Precise data from archaeogenetics, cultural and linguistic studies, and palaeoecology will help this centre paint an intricate picture of population evolution and local culture in the European context.

Well-being Sciences

The Centre of Excellence in Well-being Sciences brings together social and natural scientists to study human well-being from new angles. By exploring relationships between human health, lifestyle, and societal factors, this centre hopes to find innovative ways to improve well-being and promote societal values. With Tallinn University of Technology and Tallinn University on board, this centre is poised to create a positive impact on the nation's well-being.

Sustainable Land Use

Finally, the Centre of Excellence in Sustainable Land Use focuses on novel land use planning strategies to preserve biodiversity and ensure a carbon balance. By merging field data, satellite data, and machine learning techniques, this centre aims to identify and model the connections between the carbon cycle and biodiversity. The Estonian University of Life Sciences, the Centre of Estonian Rural Research and Knowledge, and other members make up this powerful team.

Joining Forces for a Better Tomorrow

With collaboration from Tallinn University of Technology, Cybernetica, Estonian University of Life Sciences, Tallinn University, ProtoBioS, the Estonian Ministry of Literature, the Centre of Estonian Rural Research and Knowledge, the Competence Centre on Health Technologies, the National Institute of Chemical and Biological Physics, and the Estonian Museum of Literature, the University of Tartu is well on its way to solving important issues of international relevance and shaping Estonia's future for the better.
