Career stories
Research Scientist Vafa Järnefelt: The great thing about VTT is that it is impossible to get bored here
A little over a year and a half ago Vafa Järnefelt was about to graduate as Master of Environmental Sciences and dreaming about a job, where she would have a chance to do research on environmental affairs and apply the research in practice. Her colleagues at Finpro at the time recommended VTT, which in their opinion appeared well suited for Vafa.
Research Scientist Petri Tikka: Work at VTT increases intellectual capital
Research Scientist Petri Tikka started his career at VTT as a thesis worker in the Production and Machine Systems in 2015.
