Campus Total Defence

Campus Total Defence is a national collaboration between Swedish higher education institutions (HEI) that together are strengthening Sweden’s total defence. Through joint education initiatives, research environments and knowledge and skills development, the HEIs help to produce the knowledge and build the capacity required in a changed security environment.

Uppsala University is an active player in many of the national research or knowledge areas and contributes research, education and analysis in areas such as civil contingencies, crisis management, security policy, technology development and security of supply. The collaboration is creating structures for the long-term supply of knowledge and skills and strengthening the connections between academia, government agencies and societal actors.

Campus Total Defence is part of the University’s broader social mission and is based in the work of developing education and research that meets national needs. Through this collaboration, Uppsala University contributes to strengthening Sweden’s capacity to prevent, manage and recover from crises and security threats.
