About

This is the official blog of the University of Tartu, maintained through the collective effort of our faculty and students and coordinated by Inga Külmoja, the editor.

Dozens of authors have contributed to the making of this blog so far. Hopefully, many will still join along the way and use this blog as a platform for sharing their ideas and stories (If you work, study, or graduated from UT, please consider this an invitation!).

We also have two ‘prolific’ authors on the team: the aforementioned editor, who likes sharing snippets of student life and is into making podcast interviews; and Villu Päärt, the editor of the Estonian-language science news portal Novaator. Villu has authored a large share of our research stories.

Villu Päärt and Inga Külmoja

Villu Päärt, the author of research stories. Inga Külmoja, the editor of the blog.

We aim to bring the University of Tartu closer to you by telling stories, connecting with people, amplifying ideas, sharing conversations, and showing behind-the-scenes views.

If you could simply tell us what you’d like to read, see or hear on our blog, we’d be really grateful. We hope to hear from you in the comments!
