Vladimir Tiškin (876,887), a student studying cyber-physical systems, collected the most steps: “To collect the steps, I walked about 10,000 step more each day than I usually do.  Normally, I take an average of 30,000 steps a day. I start each morning with a routine, either going for a walk or a run. In addition, I take 10,000 steps back and forth to school, and the rest of the steps are accumulated through daily activities. Most of my steps were collected on weekends on hiking trails. I don’t own a car, and I only travel between cities via public transport. In Tartu, I do all my business on foot. The goal of the challenge was to take at least 40,000 steps every day.”

In cooperation with TalTech, the natural cosmetics brand Tilk developed an innovative and science-based skin care line, which focuses on making natural ingredients more effective and improving the absorption of active ingredients. In addition to innovation, sustainability is important for Tilk. They have set up a programme, the main objective of which is to minimise damage to the environment and to pay greater attention to sustainable consumption through the circular economy.
