Typical activities
Research done in research groups
Intensive courses given by foreign experts, e.g. opponents of
dissertations– 2-4 courses per year
– Short-term visits – longer visits in the future?
– Open to everybody interested in the subject» Popular among researchers from SYKE, VTT and other organizations
– Attendance 10-70 students
Graduate school students have a possibility to take any
courses in TKK or HSE

Annual graduate school seminars
2-3 days out of town– Boat trips etc.
In collaboration with foreign universities– St. Petersburgh, Stockholm, Tallinn
Focus on one specific topic at a time– Writing, citations, journals
Students’ presentations of their research

Efforts to increase students’ internationalization
Funding to participate in international summer schools– Only 1-4 students per year have taken advantage of this possibility
Students give presentations about their research in
international conferences once a year (funded by research
groups)
Researcher visits– Supervisors’ contacts yield good possibilities in top universities abroad
– ½-1 year long visits – little interest
– 1-4 weeks short visits – some interest
– Important, but how to encourage?

Recruitment
Most full-time students have already been working as research
assistants in some of the school’s research groups– Supervisors have first hand knowledge about the candidates’ capabilities
Promising master-level students are involved early in the
graduate school’s activities already before graduation– Intensive courses
– Seminars
– Conferences
Foreign students possible

16
Practises proven good
Seminars with a specific topic– Seminar on Scientific writing held in 2006 was found very useful by the students
– Require professors’ contribution in preparation
– Reproducible
Intensive courses– A glance at a more specific area of research in a short time
– Require only little contribution from the universities’ staff
– Networking possibilities for the students
Conference presentation rehearsals– Held for laboratory staff about 2-3 weeks before the conference
– Critical comments and discussion
