Work Environment and Equal Opportunities

All employees and students at Uppsala University shall be met with respect and given the opportunity to work and conduct their studies with equal opportunities, free of discrimination based on the seven discrimination grounds given in the Discrimination Act:

• sex
• transgender identity or expression
• ethnicity
