Since its founding in 1969, Lappeenranta University of Technology (LUT)
has focused on combining technology and economics, not only in teaching,
but also in research. The location of LUT, on the eastern border of the
European Union and neighboring on Russia, has given the university a unique
vantage point. The university is one of the leading sources of expertise
in Finland on Russian issues, East-West trade and transitional economies.
Lappeenranta, with about 60,000 inhabitants, is the busy administrative
and industrial center of the province of South Karelia. The city is located
on the southern shore of Lake Saimaa, which is Finland’s largest
lake. Lappeenranta lies halfway between Helsinki and St. Petersburg.
