According to the respondents, the University of Tartu diploma is highly valued in the labour market, and high-level research is done and excellent education is offered at the university.

The map of the results of this week’s wastewater monitoring study shows few settlements with high and very high coronavirus readings to a predominantly green background. Compared to the index representing the average situation in Estonia, virus readings are slightly higher in Harju County, Ida-Viru County and in central Estonia.

This week’s results of the wastewater analysis led by the University of Tartu confirm a continuous decline of coronavirus. According to the lead researcher of the study, Professor of Technology of Antimicrobial Compounds of the University of Tartu Tanel Tenson, two thirds of the samples taken this week contain small amounts of the virus.

The recipients of this year’s 6,000-euro young talent awards of the L’Oreal Baltic For Women in Science Programme are University of Tartu researcher Kaija Põhako-Esko and doctoral student Mari-Ann Lind. With the help of the fellowship they try to help people with innovative soft robotics solutions and improve the living conditions of animals through microbial research.

The graduation ceremonies of the University of Tartu are held from 15 to 30 June in person. In Tartu, the ceremonies take place on the square in front of the Old Anatomical Theatre. The graduation of Viljandi Culture Academy will take place as individual ceremonies that were well-received last year. In Narva, Pärnu and Tallinn, graduation ceremonies are held indoors.

The latest results of the waste water study led by the University of Tartu show that the amount of coronavirus in waste water samples has further decreased over the last week. Only Ida-Viru County and southern Estonia show higher readings than the index characterising the average situation in Estonia.

The latest results of the study led by the University of Tartu confirm a decrease in coronavirus amounts in waste water all over Estonia. There are no very large virus amounts in any settlement.

The newest results of the waste water monitoring survey led by the University of Tartu show a continuing decrease in the coronavirus amount in wastewater. Only the results of Ida-Viru County considerably differ from the general picture: the virus level there is five times higher than the average in Estonia.

The university’s orienteering month – May – is about to end, but as the initiative has attracted much interest, the orienteering course will remain open until 6 June. The university invites all employees, students, alumni and their families as well everyone else to orienteering in the city of Tartu. Come to discover places where the university family has done exercise and sports since the early 19th century!

The newest results of the waste water monitoring study led by the University of Tartu show a stable yet very slow decrease in the coronavirus levels. There are fewer samples with very high levels of virus, but the virus has not completely disappeared from any region.

This week’s results of the waste water monitoring study led by the University of Tartu show a decrease in coronavirus levels. The results of the analysis show that in several Estonian settlements, the concentration of virus in waste water is back to a low level. At the same time, researchers acknowledge that the amount of virus in the waste water is still considerable. The situation is particularly worrying in some of the larger towns in Ida-Viru County, where the amount of virus in waste water continues to be above the Estonian average.

Despite the government’s decision to allow face-to-face studies also in higher education starting from 17 May, the university continues work as previously planned. Decisions about the organisation of studies continue to be made by the head of institute in cooperation with the vice dean for academic affairs. The only change is that the requirement not to exceed 25% room capacity has been lifted. The allowed percentage of room capacity is to be decided by the head of institute.

The Office of Academic Affairs in cooperation with the Student Union have chosen the new course registration start time. Based on the results of the survey conducted, registration will start at 21:00.

This week’s results of the wastewater analysis led by the University of Tartu show an increase in coronavirus levels. Samples with high virus concentration have been collected all over Estonia, which is why precautions to prevent the spread of the virus must be taken very seriously everywhere.

This week’s results of the waste water analysis led by the University of Tartu indicate that the concentration of coronavirus in waste water has remained rather stable over the past few weeks. Compared to the modest decrease in the Estonian average indicators, Harju County stands out by a somewhat quicker decrease in coronavirus level in the waste water.

Coronavirus concentration in wastewater has decreased to a moderate level in many regions in Estonia. The number of samples with very high concentration has dropped by a third in a week.

According to the recently updated Web of Science citations database, the University of Tartu now also ranks in the one percent of the world’s most highly cited research institutions in the field of materials science. This is the thirteenth field of research in which the University of Tartu belongs among the top institutions.

This week’s results of the wastewater analysis led by the University of Tartu confirm a persistent yet very slow decline in the coronavirus levels. There is still a large amount of virus in wastewater samples all over Estonia and achieving a moderate level can still take weeks.

Throughout May, the university invites all employees, students, alumni and their families to orienteering in the city of Tartu. The spring orienteering course, compiled by the university museum, focuses on places related to sports and recreation. Did you know that according to architect Krause’s initial floor plans there was supposed to be a fencing hall on the ground floor of the main building? If not, come orienteering and find out other exciting sports-related facts about the university.

This week’s results of the wastewater analysis led by the University of Tartu reveal that the concentration of coronavirus in samples taken from larger cities of Estonia has started to decline. However, the virus is widely spread all over Estonia and still abundant in the wastewater, so the situation does not seem to be easing just yet.
