Researchers' Night at Jamk

Well ED offers a research-based perspective on well-being in everyday digital life. You will gain practical tools to manage workload, improve resilience, and support both learning and work ability. The theme brings together mind, body, and everyday choices into a holistic approach to well-being. At the same time, you will strengthen your skills in self-leadership and in acting sustainably in a changing work and learning environment.

How does nature influence our well-being, and how can we also promote the well-being of the environment? Come and explore nature-based methods and the research behind them.

At our stand, you can learn about the well-being effects of nature and research and development projects related to environmentally friendly behavior. You can also try nature-based exercises that support well-being and strengthen your connection with nature. We will present methods and materials developed by Jamk and our partners, and offer opportunities to experience both exercises carried out in nearby nature and virtual nature experiences.

Come to experience, reflect, and discuss how nature can support the well-being of both people and the planet now and in the future.

Can artificial intelligence support different rehabilitation needs, such as acute lower back pain? Come and try how AI guides self-care and discuss with researchers how the answers are generated. You will test an example designed specifically to support self-rehabilitation for acute back pain—not a general-purpose chat.

Scan the QR code, try it yourself, and give feedback as a citizen scientist—your insights will influence what trustworthy and human-centered digital health and social services will look like in the future.

Come and explore the fascinating world of smart farming and see how data and technology are transforming agriculture! At this activity point, you will get a close look at drones, sensors, and other modern measurement equipment, and learn how they are used to collect data from fields and the environment.

You will gain concrete insight into how technology helps farmers make better and more sustainable decisions. Come and ask, try, and get inspired – what does the future of agriculture look like?

Come and test how workload can be reduced and assessed using different methods and tools!
 

What are these funny slippers? Musatossut are playful dancing slippers that get the youngest members of the family moving at the Researchers’ Night as part of the “Family Superpower” theme.

At our activity point, there will be plenty to do, including crafts, physical activities, and making music!

Robots, automation, and intelligent systems are shaping the solutions of the future. Come and experience how technology is designed and controlled using digital tools, and get hands-on with real robots. You'll have the opportunity to try the same tools engineers use when developing a sustainable, safe, and smart future. Will your inner engineer awaken?

How much data does your mobile device leak to the outside world? Perhaps constantly, 24/7? What if a few simple measures could improve your cybersecurity, privacy, energy efficiency, and even your health? Learn from experiences and insights gained through the Farmguard cybersecurity project.

Explore forest environments through virtual experiences. What is ecological restoration in drained peatland forests, and why is it needed? Learn about current research and discover what forest owners think about restoration and nature management.

How does artificial intelligence identify bird calls, and what can migratory birds tell us about environmental change? At this Researchers' Night activity point, you'll get to explore technologies used in nature research in Finland and around the world.

At the E³UDRES² activity point, visitors can learn about the alliance's nine partner countries by placing the partner universities in the correct locations on a map of Europe. Brochures and other materials will also be available for independent exploration.

Participants are invited to share their ideas on what E³UDRES² partners could do together in the future, for example by hanging their ideas on a communal idea tree.

An E³UDRES² doctoral researcher will be present in the atmospheric tent to answer questions about the alliance, international opportunities, research, and studies. Colourful lighting and engaging decorations create a fun and inviting experience for visitors of all ages.

How are thin and ultra-thin coatings made?

Discover the work of the ALD CoCampus and thin-film research conducted in Jyväskylä. This hands-on activity point introduces visitors to atomic layer deposition (ALD) and magnetron sputtering, explaining how these technologies work and where they are used.

Visit our activity corner and let your inner engineer run free! Drawing and colouring activities are available for the youngest members of the family. Welcome!

Come and meet local entrepreneurs and learn how small businesses have developed their services and how service design can be utilized in business development. Local entrepreneurs will be present to share their experiences and insights.

Finnish Center of Expertise for Cybersecurity (FICEC) invites you to spin the wheel of fortune and take on a cyber challenge. Solve puzzles, outsmart cyber villains, and build your digital security skills along the way!
