Yesterday I was invited as a Youth Representative to the #IndustrialForum by the @EU_Commission to comment on the 🇪🇺 #GreenDeal as a young researcher. I emphasised on the importance of research and innovation to move towards a Green Transition. #vttpeople #research #opportunity

Ever wanted to build a Young Professionals network in your organisation? With @yearNetwork we developed this document to help kick-start the formation of such young networks! #networking #researcher #youngproferssional

We've had a blast at VTT Gala of Failures! 👏😍 While trying to solve the world’s biggest challenges, minor setbacks are inevitable. Instead of giving in, we gather our people together to share our best fails, celebrate them and laugh. 😄 Excited to see who wins this year!

Congratulations to the grant winners of the Millennium Graduate Student Contest as announced by our very own Research Scientist @nielsvs91! 🎉 🏅 Giovanni Misitano @uniofjyvaskyla 🏅 Elisa Werner @UniTurku 🏅 Sanaz Zarabi Golkhatmi @AaltoUniversity @millenniumprize #MIF2022

We are so excited to start the week with our #YEARAC2022 and learn about the tips and tricks of professional communication and networking @SINTEF with my colleagues and year network! @AITtomorrow2day @VTTFinland @VITObelgium @RISEsweden @TyndallInstitut @TNO_Research

After 2 years of covid delay, we are excited to finalise the planning of the YEAR Network Annual Conference 2022 in Trondheim which is taking place on 26th and 27th of September! @SINTEF @RISEsweden @VTTFinland @VITObelgium @TNO_Research @AITtomorrow2day @TyndallInstitut @Aicia_

Finally, we are back to face-to-face meetings. I'm glad that, after two years, I've finally met again in-person the colleagues in the @yearNetwork board in Antwerp. @TyndallInstitut

🍊 Imagine if you could drink orange juice from a bottle that was made from orange peels 🍊 FDCA technology allows us to create bio-based plastic bottles🔬 @SariRautiainen explains how and tells the story behind the innovation, read more 👉bit.ly/3vkuO4x #VTT80

While trying to solve the world’s biggest challenges with #science and #technology, minor setbacks are inevitable. Instead of giving in, today we gather together to share our best fails, laugh and learn from them. Stay tuned 🤩 #VTTGalaOfFailures #VTTBeyondTheObvious #learning

Check this documentary-webinar on how cells can be engineered to produce #bioplastics or #xylitol from WASTE using #biotech and #Sytheticbiology #CRISPR #Metabolicengineering @VTTFinland Prof @merjaelisa &JussiJäntti, Mervi Toivari & @GSzilvay @SynbioFi info.vttresearch.com/from-waste-to-…

Truckloads of trash on top of your measurement setup don't sound too professional 🧐 But it definitely brings you the 1st prize at #VTTGalaOfFailures 2021. Congratulations to brave #VTTpeople who shared their fails tonight! #VTTBeyondTheObvious #VTTYoungProfessionals

Exciting day in the lab! Getting ready to present our #FDCA technology from citrus peel to plastic bottle at VTT Webinar. To learn more, register: info.vttresearch.com/life-cycle-ser…

Check out this @VTTFinland press release of my recent paper on the synthesis of FDCA via aldaric acids as a stable intermediate! “In the near future, you may buy orange juice in bottles that are made out of orange peel." #VTTbeyondtheobvious #renewable #plastics #PEF #FDCA

My first article "Unique pathway to platform chemicals – aldaric acids as stable intermediates for synthesis of furandicarboxylic acid esters" has now been published in Green Chemistry! #greenchemistry #FDCA #PEF @SariRautiainen @VTTFinland doi.org/10.1039/D0GC02…

The new era of materials is here 🤩💥 Smart biobased fibre products can replace fossil-based materials, create new business and alter the way we consume. Watch out more in the video ⬇️ #biobasedmaterials #vttbeyondtheobvious

This is how we as the VTT Young Professionals change the company's work culture into a more open one. "Sometimes we fail and sometimes we succeed – but learning is inevitable."👉 lnkd.in/dP7CmAW #vttfailgala #vttyoungprofessionals #vttpeople #beyondtheobvious #science

What’s the story you would be embarrassed to share at work? 🤫Those are the stories we’re telling and celebrating at VTT’s Gala of Failures! 👏🏻 #VTTpeople #VTTfailgala #failingislearning

The winner of the #skolar Pitching Competition and € 100K award is @hausmaninger from VTT! Amazing performance, congratulations 🥳🙌🚀 #VTTpeople #slush19 #researchpitching
