The Journey of Team Myonit in Helsinki Challenge competition

Hi there!

We are Team Myonit, a team consisting of researchers from Universities of Oulu and Jyväskylä, and corporate partners from Muon Solutions Oy. This is our Blog.

We are participating in Helsinki Challenge competition – Finnish Universities for Better World, and out of 110 applications we are currently in the top 20. The idea of the competition is to have research groups to bring their research to help to find solutions for global problems. We are aiming to get a solution to one of the severest problems of our time: the global fresh water crisis.

Our scientist are in the field of astroparticle physics, and we study cosmic rays. This might sound a bit far from Earth-related issues, but with the help of high energy cosmic ray particles it is possible to have a view pass the surface of Earth and see what lies underground.

With this blog we hope to provide you glimpses of what we do and how we are proceeding in the Helsinki challenge competition. This competition and the use of social media are small steps for the mankind, but huge steps for us, the researchers, to connect with the World.

You are welcome to tag along and join the journey of Team Myonit. You can find us in twitter #TeamMyonit and of course through this blog.

Best regards,

Jari J.

Communications manager for the Team Myonit
