Tours
The best way to get a real sense of what’s happening at the Estonian University of Life Sciences is by visiting us. At our teaching and research complex in the Tähtvere campus, you can explore laboratories, scientific collections, the research work of our scientists, and organize work meetings and discussions with collaboration partners.
Each tour is tailored to the interests of the group and available time.
An excellent introduction to the fields of activity at the Estonian University of Life Sciences is the exhibition “Circular Bioeconomy: Solutions for Climate-Friendly Agriculture and Forestry”, which is set up in the foyer of the Forestry Building for your exploration.
The subsequent program can be structured around specific topics or offer snapshots from various fields. Inspiration can also be drawn from our research and development services database.
Here are some examples of the topics you can explore with us:
- Circular bioeconomy
- Horticulture, plant health, and the valorization of garden and crop products
- Remote sensing and precision farming
- One Health (the interconnectedness of environment, human, and animal health)
- Future forests and forest health
- Construction: wood as a material of the future
- Traditional and renewable energy sources
- Future food and the valorization of waste into food
- Blue bioeconomy
- And more.
Some of the above topics may also lead to our field and study bases located outside the campus.
- In forestry topics, we offer a deep dive into the Järvselja Training and Experimental Forestry Centre.
- At the Rõhu Experimental Garden, we introduce plant cultivation and field crops.
- At the Polli Horticultural Research Centre, we showcase berry and fruit variety breeding and their valorization through innovative technologies.
- In the Märja Cattle Experimental Farm, we explain livestock breeding topics.
- At the Limnology Centre and Lake Museum by Lake Võrtsjärv, we present lake research.
When planning a visit, it is essential to ensure that regular teaching and research activities are not disrupted. Therefore, it is recommended to contact the university as early as possible to begin preparing the visit.
We offer school groups the opportunity to participate in workshops that introduce our study programs. Some of these workshops are also fee-based.
