FOR STUDENTS

One of the main goals of The Centre of Excellence is to educate young researchers and to provide them a friendly, supportive and inspiring enviroment for their training and all research groups comprising The Centre of Excellence provides high quality education, both in theory and in applications. The Centre of Excellence works also in close collaboration with the Finnish Inverse Problems Society and Finnish Graduate School of Inverse Problems.

The Graduate School of Inverse Problems

Graduate School of Inverse Problems was founded in 2002 and is subordinate graduate school of Academy of Finland and is approved by Finnish Ministry of Education. The mission of the Graduate School is to maintain and improve the connections between the various research groups working in this area by coordinating PhD studies on the field.

The Finnish Inverse Problems Society

The Finnish Inverse Problems Society was founded in December 1997 and officially registered in June 1998. The mission of the society is to promote research activities within the field of inverse problems in Finland and maintain and improve the connections between the various research groups working in this area. The society is interdisciplinary in nature, bringing together the expertise in mathematical, physical and engineering sciences. What is more, the society seeks to build bridges between the academia and industry.

The activities of the society include the arrangement of annual national Inverse Problems Days, a tradition that dates back to 1995 when this small scale conference was first arranged. In this workshop, the researchers and graduate students from participating research groups present their recent or ongoing work.
