Academic Jaak Vilo stated that Tartu University should be the leading institution across Estonia. Vilo, a candidate for rector of Tartu University, outlined his vision for the university’s development. He argued that Tartu University should evolve beyond simply being a vocational school or a research institution focused solely on specialized scientific interests. According to Vilo, universities play a crucial role in gathering and systematizing knowledge, primarily through the continuous creation of new knowledge. Within the university environment, students are intended to move beyond rote learning and, in collaboration with faculty, develop the skills to build upon existing knowledge and adapt to future challenges within their professional careers. The discussion centered around science, Tartu, innovation, elections, and the rector position.
