Emerging Technologies Lab

We are pleased to announce that as of June 1st, 2025, the Emerging Technologies Lab (ETL) has been officially established as a research center at Tampere University.

This recognition marks a significant milestone for the lab, reflecting our growing research portfolio, expanding team, and increasing impact in the study of emerging technologies and society. ETL brings together over 30 researchers from diverse disciplinary backgrounds, working across five thematic streams and more than ten active projects.

As a research center, ETL continues to build on its interdisciplinary foundations, combining longitudinal, experimental, computational, and qualitative methods to produce rigorous and socially relevant research. The centre is also strongly committed to mentoring early-career researchers, fostering international collaboration, and contributing to public dialogue on technological change.

We look forward to the next chapter of ETL’s journey as a hub for innovative, cross-cutting research on the societal impacts of emerging technologies.
