LUT is a community where curious people inspire curious people. The curious dive deep into their passion, and develop their thinking daily. Without curiosity, the world cannot be changed.
LUT addresses issues that matter to the world and that others may consider impossible to solve. The LUT campus is the capital city of curious people, but the state of mind can be achieved anywhere.
LUT’s strategic focus areas are clean energy and water, circular economy and sustainable business. Those are the key questions of humankind to which LUT seeks solutions through technology and business.
The university’s expertise in energy is reflected in Green Campus, a unique research and educational environment where its own innovations are put to practical use. Green Campus is an example on how science and technology can be used to solve environmental problems and build a sustainable world.
LUT takes part in university rankings to compare the university's research performance, education quality and international relations with those of other universities. Since 2014 LUT has been ranked among the world’s top 600 universities (Times Higher Education and QS rankings) as well as one of the world's 20 most promising and rapidly developing challenger universities (a report by the Firetail consulting firm).

History in breef
Combining technology and business, LUT (in Finnish: until 2003 Lappeenrannan teknillinen korkeakoulu, LTKK, and from 2003 Lappeenrannan teknillinen yliopisto, LTY) has served as an academic forerunner since 1969. In the 1950s and 1960s, the Finnish government made plans to establish the University of Eastern Finland in Lappeenranta, but it was ultimately decentralized in three cities: Lappeenranta, Kuopio, and Joensuu. Only the departments of engineering were located in Lappeenranta at that time. The Department of Business Administration was established and teaching of economics began in 1991.
