Summary
Profi4 progressed with three profiling actions, MultiLete2, NSC2 and AAC.
MultiLeTe2 has raised the level of interdisciplinary research by fostering collaboration, sharing of methodologies and engaging in joint designs on topics in the intersection of education, psychology, information technology (ICT) and humanities. It extended Profi1 action MultiLeTe1, along two lines of research, process-oriented classroom studies and technology-enhanced learning (with links to educational neuroscience), and two additional research areas, agentic learning at work and learning analytics.
The JYU Nanoscience Center (NSC) has been the core element of the profiling of JYU in three profiling rounds, namely the second, the fourth and the ongoing round 6 to implement the research strategic plan in nanosciences. The strategy expresses the vision of the NSC researchers to deepen the understanding of the nanoscale processes using multi- and interdisciplinary approaches, and the mission to provide an environment for world-leading research, to educate multidisciplinary experts and to communicate their findings to the science
community and to the public.
The profiling measures for NSC in the profiling round 4 continued research in the nanoscale in chemistry and physics to biological phenomena, for instance the virus-host interactions both in cell biology and genetics as well as control of biological processes with photosensory proteins. These two focus areas have led to major scientific advances and some of them have already been commercialized e.g. by a start-up company BiopSense ltd.
The goal of AAC profiling action was to focus on research that promotes well-being and functioning to postpone disability and dependence on care in old age. This considers the societal aspects of ageing and addresses social policies of care. Research of AAC relates closely to core areas in the JYU’s strategy. First, research on active ageing is a major part of the “Physical activity, health and wellbeing” core area, where gerontology has been identified as the internationally strongest research field. At the same time, care policy research addresses “Languages, culture and communities in global change processes”, another core research field. As innovations in active ageing and care are often based on applications of digital technologies, the profiling area is also connected to the core field
“Information technology and the human in the knowledge society”.
