Jari Jokinen from TEK: It would make more sense to improve the resourcing of existing educational establishments.

The engineering community plays a key role in the transition towards a circular economy. The skills needed in a circular society require changes in all higher education in the field of technology, the report states.

Expanding higher education is necessary, but it must not be done by scattering it wider but by consolidating high-quality operations even further under the same roofs.

The Faculty of Technology at the University of Turku further adds to the density of academic engineers in southwestern Finland.
