UN sustainable development goal: Affordable and clean energy
Energy-related research and education are top priorities at the University of Vaasa. For instance, research conducted on the VEBIC research platform contributes to the development of more efficient methods of energy production, storage, and distribution. This will simultaneously reduce reliance on vulnerable energy sources. Research and education in the field of energy will facilitate the transfer of knowledge to future generations. University of Vaasa graduates contribute to the sector by creating and implementing new knowledge.
