Turku Bioscience
Digital platform and visual communication for a multidisciplinary research centre Turku Bioscience Centre is a joint research infrastructure of the University of Turku and Åbo Akademi University, supporting biomedical and bioscience research through advanced technologies, expertise and shared research facilities. LaBio Media has been responsible for the website and a wide range of communication materials, helping the centre communicate its research, services, events and activities across digital and physical channels.

Project story
Challenge
Turku Bioscience is a large and constantly evolving research environment. Its website needs to communicate much more than an institutional profile.
It brings together:
- research groups and researchers
- research cores and technologies
- publications
- scientific events
- courses and training
- news and announcements
- instruments and facilities
- services for researchers
- institutional information
- external collaborations and activities
The challenge was to create and maintain a digital platform capable of handling this amount of information while keeping it clear, searchable and useful for both researchers and external audiences.
At the same time, the centre has an ongoing need for visual communication around events, scientific activities, stakeholder meetings and institutional initiatives.
Approach
LaBio Media developed and maintains the Turku Bioscience website, building its content structure around the different ways people interact with the centre.
The platform connects research, people, publications, events, facilities and services into a single digital environment.
A major part of the work has also been translating scientific and institutional information into visual communication that works outside the website.
This includes designing communication materials for events, research activities and high-level stakeholder meetings, where information needs to be clear, polished and immediately understandable.
Deliverables
- Website development and ongoing maintenance
- Digital content and web updates
Outcome
The result is not a single finished campaign, but an ongoing visual communication partnership. By working across web, design, presentations and video, I can respond to different communication needs while maintaining familiarity with the organisation, its research environment and its audiences. A clean digital structure was developed around the people, research groups and scientific work that make up Turku Bioscience.
