THE MOST ATTRACTIVE PLACE TO LIVE IN

FINLAND

“Tampere is dominated by its

universities and institutes. It has

the feel of a ‘college’ town, full

of youthful zest, where almost

anything goes, and anything is

possible. That’s why I feel so at

home here. And did so virtually

from the moment I arrived”

“Another obvious plus is the fact

that English is just about

everyone’s second language.”

Prof. Howy Jacobs – Scotsman and punk rock fan Professor of Molecular Biology at the University of Tampere since 1996.

Winner of The Descartes Prize in 2004.
