Updating the titles of the 7 key research areas - participate in a survey!
At Aalto University, our research focuses on seven key areas. These areas were chosen roughly 10 years ago during the first years of Aalto University, and our new professors have been recruited to these areas since then. While the actual contents of the areas should not be changed, we would like to double-check if the terminology we are using is still up to date. Voice your opinion about the titles we use for the key research areas, and if minor updates are needed in the terminology.
