Have you visited the archive of TalTech? At the campus party, there is an exceptional opportunity to do so!
While the university looks to the future, the University Archives is where preserved documents tell the story of its past. Old file covers bear the name “Tallinn Polytechnic Institute”, while records from the administrative office reveal that the library was once located on Lai Street and the Schools were scattered across the city.
Old student files are a treasure trove in their own right: tucked between the covers of one of them, you may even find a diploma issued by Heidelberg University in the 1930s. We also have what might be called a vintage study information system from the pre-war period – a large-format book weighing several kilograms and containing student records. And thanks to the archives, we know that the Rectorate once discussed whether a television had been thrown from the roof or from a window on the top floor of a student residence …
The University sends its most valuable documents on teaching and research to the National Archives of Estonia, but we retain copies of diplomas. This enables many former students, even those living as far away as Australia, to obtain confirmation of their studies. We have plenty to show you!
In addition to our own records, we also preserve the archival collections of many other educational institutions as a result of changes in the education landscape and mergers between institutions.
The Tallinn University of Technology Archives are located on the ground floor of the former library (now the Student House), in room STU-120.
Visits are free of charge, but advance registration is required.
Archive visit times:
- 13.00-13.45 Archive visit - guided tour and exhibition of the finest pearls (in English)
- 14.00-14.45 Archive visit - guided tour and exhibition of the finest pearls (in Estonian)
- 15.15-16.00 Archive visit - guided tour and exhibition of the finest pearls (in Estonian)
- 18.00-18.45 Archive visit - guided tour and exhibition of the finest pearls (in Estonian)
REGISTER FOR ARCHIVE VISITS HERE
The meeting point will be at the TalTech Archive - Student House 1st floor (down the stairs), room STU-120.

Thanks to popular demand, Rene Pauli’s Piano Bar will open its doors again at the Campus Party. This is a unique pop-up piano bar where the setlist is created by the party guests.
Write your song request on a sticky note, attach it to the piano, and that will become the next song. All requests are welcome, from Sinatra to Espresso Macchiato.
At the piano is Rene Paul Allkivi, a TalTech alumnus in Business Information Technology. Already during his university years, Rene was an active promoter of student life: he founded the legendary Tipikas Sauna Marathon, worked as a producer in the Film Club, and organized parties at the student bar Pööning. For one evening, he is back at the university. Get your song request ready and meet us by the piano!

Participation in Joogi-jooga is FREE, but please note that this year entry to the Campus Festival grounds from 18:00 onwards is only with an Afterparty wristband. When registering, you can also choose a supporter ticket - all proceeds from the event will go to support university students and their projects!

You can sing in as many as ten languages. Take a look at the setlist and be prepared.

Come and create unforgettable memories with us – singing on a stage that unites languages and cultures!
Deep within TalTech’s hidden corners, in the dusty walls of the former professors’ bar, the Wave Lab comes alive – a hideout of electronic music only for those who know where to knock. It is a space where logic loses gravity and all frequencies intertwine into one – a rhythm that resonates straight through the core of the body.
This year's frequency engineer is DJames.
Seek the shadowy door. Listen to the bass. And if you find your way to the Wave Lab, tell no one – this place lives only for those who listen.
The representative teams of the TalTech Sports Club 2026/2027 season will officially make their debut to the public at Academician's Alley.
You will have the chance to witness men's basketball, women's and men's volleyball, men's and women's table tennis, as well as the cheerleaders teams.
All team members will be introduced individually, and there will also be an opportunity to have informal conversations with the members of the representative teams.

TalTech has developed the Good Practice of Environmentally Friendly Events, focusing on sustainable approaches to catering, water usage, materials and decorations, waste management, transportation, energy efficiency, and consideration for the surrounding environment and community.
In line with these principles, we ask Campus Party attendees to keep the following in mind:
- We recommend arriving and departing by public transport (including night buses) or using light vehicles like bicycles. Bikeep racks and regular bike parking with personal locks are available on the university campus.
- Waste will be sorted at the event. Proper separation of bio-waste, general waste, mixed packaging, paper, cardboard, and returnable containers will be ensured.
- Reusable dishes will be used at the event. Participants are encouraged to bring their own water bottles and food containers, and at least one-third of the food options will be meat-free.
What is more:
- Wristbands: The wristbands used for the event are made from recycled materials.
- Energy Efficiency: To reduce energy consumption, we have asked both the organizing team and service providers to focus on the efficient use of equipment. Unnecessary devices will be turned off when not in use, and modern, energy-efficient equipment will be utilized.
- Noise and Light Pollution: To prevent noise pollution during the evening afterparty, outdoor speakers will be replaced with headphones, and LED light sources with minimal brightness will be used for lighting.

Environmentally Friendly Event
The TalTech Campus Party is organised in accordance with the Good Practice of Environmentally Friendly Events and has been awarded the TalTech Green Event label. In recognition of its commitment to sustainability, the Campus Party was named TalTech’s Green Act of the Year 2024.
Our approach includes:
- Sorting waste by type
- Using reusable dishes and utensils
- Providing meat-free meals
- Offering free refills for participants’ own water bottles
- Monitoring and limiting energy consumption
- Reducing noise pollution through the use of silent disco technology
- Reusing leftover wristbands from previous large-scale events
- Encouraging the use of public transport and light mobility solutions
- Avoiding pyrotechnics and single-use decorations
- and much more
The Campus Party is more than an entertaining event: it serves as an inspiring example of how large-scale gatherings can be organised in an environmentally responsible manner. It invites both participants and organisers to adopt and advocate for greener choices.
