Networking and new information at the daytime event
During the day, working life partners and stakeholders were especially invited to the Researchers' Night. RDI projects had invited their own partners to the event. The daytime event featured networking and sharing new information on many different themes. The Tested by Jamk expert event for the renewing industry gathered several dozen participants to technology laboratories and demonstration stands.
The diverse programme interested the audience
The gathering of superpowers in families and the music class and frog instrument crafts of Musatossuit were of particular interest to the little people. In the technology laboratories, a hydrogen-powered remote-controlled car, ash samples, microalgae and holograms sparked good discussions with researchers and participants. Dozens of pairs of eyes gathered for the work demonstrations on the strengths of materials and thin films. In the archipelago nature, the restorative VR glasses had to be put on hold from time to time when the glasses had to be given a moment to charge due to congestion. Many adult participants commented that they were surprised by the significant relieving effect of exoskeletons in lifting loads and in different working positions.
"We have lacked a similar event aimed at the general public and families. I'm really happy that we had the courage to participate in the Researchers' Night this year. It is especially great that so many RDI projects were inspired to present their activities for the first time. This is exactly what we should do: show what we can do and share information and inspiration with the public. We will certainly be involved next year as well," says R&D Manager Petri Moilanen, head of department.
