On 8 May 2026, employees of Uppsala University received awards for 30 years of Zealous and Devoted Service of the Realm.
An employee who has demonstrated zealous and devoted service as an employee of the state (public authorities under the government) or of the Riksdag or its authorities for at least 30 years can be awarded the distinction ‘For Zealous and Devoted Service of the Realm’.
