Career matters: Effective communication

Matti Vilkko, Professor, Head, Automation Technology and Mechanical Engineering Unit, ENS

Simo Käki and Iqbal Bagaskara,  Doctoral researchers

Jose Villa Escusol, Senior Systems Engineer, Sandvik

NABC model (a model for structuring research pitches and presentations) is introduced and explained and demonstrated. NABC model identifies the need, outlines the approach, highlights the benefits, and considers the competition or alternatives and helps to communicate the research work also to non-academic audience, e.g. company representatives.  We will also hear from an alumnus who has moved into industry, as he shares his personal experiences and insights.

Strengthening Wellbeing at Work

Eveliina Nurmi, HR Specialist, Tampere University

Welcome to a workshop where we take time to reflect on the importance of wellbeing at work and explore ways to enhance it. We’ll begin with a short introduction covering Tampere University’s vision for well-being at work and the key factors influencing well-being. After the introduction, we’ll move into a more interactive part of the session, which includes group discussions and individual reflection. Participants will explore what aspects of well-being they can personally influence and will create a brief personal well-being plan — practical ideas for what they could do differently in the future to support their own wellbeing.
