The SUHE baar has been closed and you no longer know where to spend your Friday nights? For at least one dark November evening, we have a solution for you – a lively, dance-filled and magical ball right here in the university hall on November 28 starting at 19! "BuT iT’s CaLLed tHe ALumNi BaLL" – but YOU will (hopefully!) also soon be an alumnus, and what would be a better way to connect current and future alumni than with a lively party!? Therefore, here are at least 5 reasons to spend the evening of November 28 in the university hall! | Photo: Rene Riisalu. 1. You can distract yourself from the fact that the semester ends in three weeks! Exactly – the ball marks the end of the 13th study week, which means you still have three more weeks afterwards to finally do those first-week homework assignments. A solution for your academic delulu (tnx seb campaign). 2. The ball tickets are cheaper than chocolate! The mental health month is over and chocolate is too expensive to eat your stress away? At the ball you get more than five hours of entertainment, relaxation and taking your mind elsewhere for less than the cost of two Kalev chocolates. PS! If you come with friends, you can get a special student package for four at an especially good price! Plus a welcome drink and cake too! 3. You can finally wear that dress or suit that has been sitting in your closet! Nothing is too much for a ball – wear your most glamorous dress or transform into a character from the Enchanted Forest. If you discover that you have a formal dress or suit in your closet that you no longer wear, or you are currently looking for a new formal outfit, then come to TalTech Riidering, where there will be a cool ball pop-up corner this time!

In addition to Alika, cultural collectives and surprises, this year the program will include the rectors’ disco for the first time! When else will you have the chance to jam with your friends to the favorite songs of Jaak Aaviksoo or Tiit Land? The ball ends with the rectors’ disco, where the songs selected by the former and current rectors will be played. 5. If you made it this far, we’ll give you a discount code to participate! Attention is a valuable thing and if you have read everything above and are still here, then with the code "BLOGI_BALL" you can get the ticket at a discount until November 9! The discount code applies to the “STUDENT” ticket type. Bring your friends and get ready for an amazing event! You can find tickets here: https://fienta.com/et/vilistlaste-ball-2025 ! Still not convinced? Want to hear a student experience? No problem! A student who attended last year described the ball like this: “We went to the ball with friends last year because it seemed like a good opportunity to step out of the usual student routine for a moment and dress up. The fun theme, good performers and friends made the evening especially enjoyable. It was also nice that both students and alumni were together at the ball, creating a connecting and inspiring atmosphere.” So – get ready and see you on November 28th in the university hall! PS! If you are afraid that you don’t remember the dance steps anymore or have actually never danced ballroom dances at all, I have solutions for that too – come to the ball dance courses on November 18th and 20th! The dancers of the dance ensemble Kuljus will teach you the steps, completely free of charge! Registration is required to participate: https://fienta.com/et/balli-tantsukursused

These days, being a scientist isn’t just about working in a lab — the world needs people who can take bold ideas and turn them into real impact. In Estonia, there’s a growing demand for deep tech: innovation born from science that has the potential to reshape our economy and society. Great ideas alone aren’t enough; you also need the skills to bring them to life. That’s where the MIMIR Fellows program comes in. Launched by Tallinn University of Technology and the University of Tartu, MIMIR Fellows helps students learn how to bridge science and entrepreneurship through hands-on training. Experts provide coaching on venture capital and technology transfer, while participants discover how to turn cutting-edge research into world-changing companies with global impact. Picture: Olavi Pilnik Why Does This Matter for Estonia? Estonia is known as a digital nation and a great place for startups, but the deep tech field is only beginning to grow. Deep tech ecosystems require longer timelines, more risk-tolerant investors, stronger ties with research institutions, and deeper expertise. The potential exists in Estonia, but science and business aren’t yet fully connected. Many young researchers lack the knowledge or experience to bring their research into the entrepreneurial world. At the same time, investors are often cautious of science-based ideas — they can feel hard to grasp when scientists haven’t yet learned how to “translate” them into the language of business. MIMIR is building a bridge between science and entrepreneurship. The program connects researchers, entrepreneurs, and investors, while teaching participants how to recognize the social and economic potential hidden within scientific discoveries. Graduates of the MIMIR Fellows program learn to ask: Who can benefit from this knowledge? How can it be brought to life? What kind of impact could it have? These are the kinds of people who create new companies and lasting change. What Does the Program Look Like? The first part of the program — independent prep work followed by a two-week intensive bootcamp in Tartu and Tallinn — has wrapped up. “Before, I saw science and entrepreneurship as two separate tracks. Now I realize they’re part of the same journey,” shares one participant. Picture: Olavi Pilnik The young participants have now entered the second phase of the program: internships in companies or research labs, where they can put their new knowledge into practice and gain real-world experience. This fall, the Estonian MIMIR Fellows are planning a study trip to Barcelona, which will also mark the final part of the program. The goal of the trip is to visit leading innovation hubs, meet with local startups and research institutions, and take part in major international events like the Smart City World Expo and the Barcelona Deep Tech Summit. By exploring Barcelona’s ecosystem, they’ll gather new insights and bring that knowledge back to Estonia.
