Story and messages

Small in size, great for research.

High scientific level

We punch way above our weight when it comes to scientific citations, as well as received funding from European Union research and innovation programmes.

Grow your career

In Estonia, things move quickly. Make new connections and meet the decision-makers in no time. With less workplace hierarchy and competition, this is the place to fulfil your potential.

Less red tape

In a country where 99% of state services are online, we are not fond of paperwork. You will be surprised by the ease of grant application submissions and general low level of bureaucracy.

Society for science

Estonians believe in the positive effects of science and show strong respect for academic institutions. Scientists are highly trusted in our society.

Clean & safe

The country quietly captivates you with clean air, low population density and abundant nature. Thanks to the very low crime rate, a sauna is the only place you’ll ever sweat in.

Family-friendly

Short commute distances leave more time for friends and family. Children get to benefit from the top-ranked education system in Europe.

Easy communication

Estonian is one of the world’s smallest official national languages. While we are really proud of the fact, English is widely spoken and used on all official websites.
