Ahmed Awad, Professor of Big Data of the University of Tartu, will deliver his inaugural lecture “Big Data Analytics from the Rich Cloud to the Frugal Edge” in the UT assembly hall on 28 October at 16:15.

This week's results of the waste water analysis led by the University of Tartu show that the index describing the average situation in Estonia has again taken a step upwards within a week. The most significant increase in the amount of coronavirus has occurred in southern Estonia.

In order to keep the working and learning environment as normal as possible in the new academic year, the general rule of conduct applies that staff and students who work and study in the university buildings have been vaccinated against the coronavirus or wear masks.

The most recent results of the waste water analysis led by the University of Tartu show that the number of people infected with coronavirus continues to grow rapidly in the coming weeks. The situation is becoming particularly serious in Ida-Viru County, where the virus levels have risen to a record high.

AIRE (AI & Robotics Estonia), the centre of artificial intelligence and robotics, will offer training, consulting, and innovative tailored digital solutions for manufacturing companies, a package that cannot be found on the private market as a turnkey solution. The objective of AIRE is to increase the competitiveness of Estonian manufacturing companies in foreign markets.

This week’s results of the waste water monitoring study led by the University of Tartu confirm a continuing increase in coronavirus amounts all over Estonia. Over the week, the largest increase in the number of viruses was observed in the waste water of Ida-Viru County. Virus amounts are predominantly high or very high everywhere in Estonia.

This week’s results of the waste water study led by the University of Tartu show the continued spread of the coronavirus. The virus is most prevalent in Ida-Viru county and southern Estonia. Compared to earlier weeks, the virus concentration in waste water has also grown in western Estonia.

EMBL and the University of Tartu have signed a memorandum of understanding to foster scientific collaboration in the life sciences.

This week’s results of the waste water study led by the University of Tartu predict that the number of coronavirus infections will increase in the coming weeks not only in Harju County and southern Estonia, but also in Ida-Viru County. Waste water samples from western Estonia show somewhat lower virus concentrations.

At the beginning of the academic year, the University of Tartu and Tartu University Hospital are jointly organising vaccination days near the university’s study buildings to further improve the chances of starting face-to-face studies and meeting in the lecture halls. University members who have not been vaccinated yet can get the vaccine against Covid-19 without prior booking in the following places: at the university’s main building in room 140 (the first room on the right from the main entrance)

The struggle for existence has led to an extraordinary diversity of traits (features like height, seed size, leaf nutrient contents, or root diameter) among plants. A recent analysis of a global compilation of trait data reveals fundamental results for plant ecology: the aboveground traits of a plant do not reveal much about its fine-root traits, and the diversity of plant traits is consistently lower below- than aboveground.

Research news regularly informs you of interesting studies in various fields of research. Social Sciences Is there any hope for an enterprise inexperienced in innovation to effectively collaborate with academic researchers?

This week’s results of the waste water analysis led by the University of Tartu show an increase in coronavirus levels. Compared to previous weeks, the rise has been the most significant in Harju County. Pärnu and Lääne County have also experienced a slight increase in coronavirus levels. Hiiumaa continues to be free from the virus.

Today, food and herbs don’t come from people’s own or their grandparents’ backyards, so it is not always easy to make sure that the package contains exactly what it says it should.

This week’s results of the waste water monitoring study led by the University of Tartu show that the virus has spread evenly all over Estonia. In southern Estonia, the virus amounts have somewhat decreased, while in central Estonia the number of settlements with high virus concentration has grown. The island of Hiiumaa remains free of the coronavirus.

The cover of the September issue of Communications of ACM, the most prestigious journal in computer science, featured an article led by University of Tartu researchers. The article proposes steps to tackle one of the biggest challenges of the future of computer sciences and the digital world: how to manage ever-increasing data volumes and data presented as graphs.

Meelis Roos received his bachelor’s and master’s degree in computer science from the University of Tartu in 1997 and 1999, respectively. His master’s thesis “Integrating Notarization and Time-Stamping“ was the world’s first scalable blockchain-based digital signature notary-quality solution that included a time stamp. He has worked in one of Estonias top IT companies Cybernetica at security engineer positions.

To help promote vaccination in Tartu and Tartu County, on Saturday, the vaccination bus of Tartu University Hospital moves from Raatuse 22 to the city centre, next to Tartu Kaubamaja. On the bus, it is possible to get vaccinated from 10 to 16.

This week’s results of the waste water analysis led by the University of Tartu show that the amount of coronavirus remains stable at a high level. For several weeks already, southern Estonia stands out with the highest virus levels. Coronavirus was not found in the samples collected from Pärnu County and Hiiumaa.

On 1 October, the artificial intelligence and robotics innovation hub (AI & Robotics Estonia EDIH) will be established, which starts advising Estonian manufacturing companies on the application of artificial intelligence and robotics in product and service development. The innovation hub is supported by the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communications and the activities are implemented by the Estonian universities and science parks.
