19.09.2008 CWC has been granted a recognition award for internationalisation

Lauri Lajunen, the rector of University of Oulu, has granted the Centre for Wireless Communications a recognition award for internationalisation.

The reasons for giving the award are that throughout the existence of CWC, it has been determinedly developed into a genuinely international science community and a world-class performer. Researchers and doctoral students are recruited trough an international application process, and the unit has its own doctoral study programme run in English.

Approximately one quarter of the unit's staff are foreigners and there are five professors out of which three receive funding from the Finland Distinguished Professor programme. CWC's actions in executing the university's strategic internationalization goals are exemplary.
