The press conference will be attended by the Chairman of the Board Heiti Hääl, the Chairman of the Election Committee Madis Margus, and the candidates.
In the coming weeks, the candidates will introduce themselves and share their visions with the university community and the broader public. The Senate of Tallinn University of Technology will provide its opinion on the candidates on 29 April. The Rector will be elected on May 9 by the Board consisting of eleven members.
To be eligible for the position of rector, a candidate must be a current or former professor at any university and hold a doctoral degree or an equivalent scientific qualification. A candidate must be supported by at least one Board member.
The new rector will assume office at the start of the upcoming academic year. “The rector of the University of Technology will serve an exceptional four-year term this time to prevent future overlaps between the cycles of the elections of the board and the rector. This ensures that rector elections will not be the first issue a newly elected Board must address. This is a one-time decision, and future rectors will be elected for a five-year term unless the Board decides otherwise,” said Chairman of the Board of Tallinn University of Technology, Heiti Hääl.
The practical aspects of the rector elections are organized by the Election Committee approved by the Board.
