We’re thrilled to announce a momentous occasion at Tampere University – the eagerly anticipated arrival of our first cohort of doctoral researchers for the groundbreaking CONVERGENCE of Humans and Machines research field! This August marks the commencement of an inspiring journey for 16 exceptional individuals who will be at the forefront of multidisciplinary research.
These brilliant minds, selected through a rigorous process, will delve into diverse doctoral research projects covering areas such as affective computing, gamification, augmented reality, cybernetics, and more. Their arrival signals the beginning of a collaborative exploration that transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries, aiming to unravel the complexities of human-machine convergence.
The vibrant city of Tampere awaits with open arms, ready to embrace these researchers in a rich academic and cultural environment. Beyond the academic setting, we’re excited for them to discover the warmth and charm of Tampere, a city known for its innovative spirit and picturesque landscapes.
Professor Juho Hamari, Head of CONVERGENCE, expressed his enthusiasm, saying, “Welcoming our first doctoral researchers is a milestone moment. Their presence adds a dynamic energy to the CONVERGENCE project, and we’re eager to witness the transformative impact they’ll have on our research community.”
Stay tuned as we embark on this exciting chapter, where collaboration, curiosity, and innovation converge to shape the future of human-machine interactions. Here’s to the beginning of an extraordinary academic journey!
