The renovation of the Tartu railway station was voted the 2012’s most remarkable achievement in Tartu in the annual achievement of the year competition, organised jointly by the Tartu city government and Postimees newspaper.
Three events associated with the University of Tartu also ranked high in the opinion poll: the organisation of the 2012 International Physics Olympiad (IPhO2012), renovation of the former maternity hospital on Toome Hill into the Faculty of Social Sciences and Education building, and the completion of the new world class research facilities for the Estonian Biocentre and the University of Tartu Estonian Genome Centre.
