Tampere Congress Ambassadors are Tampere University researchers whose input in summoning and organising an international congress has been significant. They represent the international top of their fields and are influential actors in scientific organisations. When travelling abroad, Tampere Congress Ambassadors represent Tampere University and local scientific knowhow, and they encourage local researchers to participate in organisational activities and in the organising of congresses. A new Tampere Congress Ambassador will be chosen annually.

Tampere Convention Bureau coordinates this sub programme that is part of the larger Ambassador network of the City of Tampere.
