Strategy 2012–2015: Aiming for a successful and internationalized science university

The University of Oulu aims to be a successful and internationally attractive science university in the year 2020. The success of the University  will be based on high quality international research and procedures based on networking. Through this, the University also seeks a front row  seat among innovation operators.

The Ministry of Education and Culture aims to create stong higher education units in Finland, which produce competitiveness, well-being and   new expertise through their research and innovation activities.

The Vision of the University of Oulu (2020) contains three central strategic target groups by which the University aims to reach its goals:

The selected focus and development areas of the University will form an internationally strong scientific profile. By concentrating on its strengths  the University will be able to produce increasingly many high quality publications and well trained doctors, build centers of excellence and  collect supplementary funding.

Strong reputation in research will form the core of the appeal of the University and help to recruit both researchers and students nationally and  internationally. By making the planning of research more professional the University will facilitate the rapidness of studies and their support.

Active partnership and influence has long been the strength of the University of Oulu. Improving research environments and networks and  deepening internationalization will change the working ways inside the University and with external actors.

Fragmented research will be forming more competitive entities in the future. Contact with business will widen and the entrepreneurship angle will be deployed in research and education. Innovation activities will still be organized around the Innovation Alliance of the Oulu region, strengthening  the pull of the University and the whole region.

The central resource of the University is its creative scientific community with a solid economical basis. The scientific community is  developing towards a more multicultural direction, and many Master's degree trainings are switching to the English language. A four-stage  researcher's career, strengthening of infrastructures, and recruiting programmes will create opportunities for inspiring multidisciplinary  co-operation, and with it, for shared experiences of success.
