        Elites wield huge influence over deepening polarisation –– now we can tell exactly how much

        Just a handful of influential voices may be enough to drive dramatic societal rifts, according to new research from Aalto University. The study gives unprecedented insight into the social media mechanics of the partisan divide.

        New research: Reliable electricity can no longer be taken for granted – the green transition may require fossil fuel as backup

        Although Finland's electricity system has been exceptionally reliable, this may not necessarily be the case in the future. A recent study by Aalto University warns that without further investment in flexible production and demand management, the security of the electricity supply could deteriorate significantly as early as the 2030s.
