Evaluation Report Publications of the Academy of Finland 1/11

Research environment
From the evaluation reports, there seem to be ongoing collaborations in the 
Department between the different units, with the exception of the Laboratory of 
Product and Process Technology, for which no direct collaborations with other units 
at the Department are mentioned. Infrastructure appears to be adequate relative to the 
needs of the different units.
A possibility that may lead to improved infrastructure and increased 
collaborations is the creation of the LUT Centre of Separation Technology, which 
was mentioned but not elaborated on in the self-evaluations. As such, it is difficult for 
the panel to evaluate the possible impact of this initiative should it materialise.
