Uppsala University Future Institutes – UUniFI
Excellence and originality.
Uppsala University Future Institutes (UUniFI) is a research initiative designed to mobilise the University’s breadth to enable world-leading research on complex challenges for society. Through an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approach, and research characterised by excellence and originality, the initiative will generate new issues, approaches and collaborations. By doing so, UUniFI will also increase the visibility of the University and strengthen its position.
Initially, UUniFI will comprise six institutes in the areas of migration, precision health, green energy transition, AI and digitalisation, conflicting objectives in societal transformation (Uppsala University Conflicting Objectives Research Nexus (UUniCORN)), and inter- and multidisciplinarity.
Uppsala University Conflicting Objectives Research Nexus (UUniCORN) and Uppsala University Future Institutes as a whole will be inaugurated in 2025.
