RYM-TO is a Finnish nationwide multidisciplinary doctoral programme that covers extensively the field of the built environment. It combines the former KIRSU ‘Graduate School for Real Estate, Construction and Planning’, ‘Graduate School of Housing Studies and Social Change’ as well as the ‘Graduate School of Construction IT’ and expands the original focus of these programmes. The RYM-TO Doctoral Programme is funded through the Academy of Finland and the Ministry of Education and Culture.
