Internationalization Activities
The Department's internationalization activities are run through the spirited Tampere International Center for Signal Processing, which continues to attract top-level experts from around the world. Many visitors are hosted by TICSP and contribute effectively in both education and research activities of the Department. In addition, the Department continues its long tradition in offering an international Master's Degree in signal processing within the International University Programs of the Department of Information Technology.
Historical
The Signal Processing Laboratory at Tampere University of Technology was inaugurated in 1988, when the Computer Systems Laboratory was divided into two laboratories due to excessive growth. The Computer Systems Laboratory for its part was earlier part of the Electronics Laboratory, which was founded in 1967. Yet another division was established in 2000 when research and teaching on digital systems and VLSI systems design was organized within the Digital and Computer Systems Laboratory. The Signal Processing Laboratory specialized in the fundamental and applied signal processing algorithms and multimedia. In 2002 the English name was changed to Department of Signal Processing, to reflects more precisely the scope of the unit.
