I could not have imagined that I would become a professor at Uppsala University when I came here 14 years ago as a young postdoc. It's incredible fun.

It is the university I would most like to work at in the whole of Sweden. In addition to the University's excellent reputation, Uppsala is also a very beautiful city.

Ceremonies – an important part of university traditions

The Inauguration of Professors in Uppsala is a public ceremony at which the Vice-Chancellor installs new professors in their office and the new professors hold inaugural lectures.

The inauguration of professors dates back to the Middle Ages but has changed quite a bit over the years.
