The best days of your academic year!
Mark your calendars – Sprint Innovation Festival is back: 5-15.3.2024!
Test and Develop Your Skills in Sustainable Future Challenges
Put your theoretical knowledge into practice and embark on solving challenges for a more sustainable future! The Sprint Innovation Festival is a two-week event that brings together students and organizations. Showcase your skills, meet potential employers, and network with students from various fields within the Tampere higher education community. Lecture halls rarely offer the excitement you’ll experience during this event!
In the upcoming academic year, Sprint will be organized twice. The first event was a pilot in November 2023, with 120 students from Proakatemia and TAMK’s IB program. The next Sprint will be held again as an open event for everyone from March 5th to 15th, 2024.
Registration is now open for students of the University of Tampere and Tampere University of Applied Sciences! Spaces are limited, so act quickly!

Feedback from a student
Sprint Innovation Festival 2022
I have learned that fear of failure is only in my head, that challenge is not as scary as it seems.
Student feedback
The best way to overcome obstacles is to start doing things. The more you work, the more effort you put the better is the result.
Sprint Innovation Festival 2022
It was interesting to work with students from other fields of study. We all have our own strengths, and we had some good discussions. Initially, I had a slightly negative attitude towards the SPRINT week, but it turned out to be really enjoyable and rewarding.
