An intelligent lifestyle can be viewed as making research-based decisions in order to improve society in general and the well-being of its citizens.
Organisation and Management
Tallinn University has evolved through the merger of over ten previously independent academic institutions. The university was named Tallinn University on 18 March 2005 by the decision of the parliament of Estonia; the Riigikogu.
The most important activities following the establishment of the university have been the shaping of a uniform identity for Tallinn University, improving academic quality through deepening international cooperation and pooling resources for more focused activities. Today, Tallinn University has a strong position in Estonia`s higher education landscape.
