Join in and have your say in activities at the newly started UUniCORN Future Institute. A workshop for academics and external stakeholders will be held on 26 March 2025. Register by 10 February.

The aim of UUniCORN is to promote interdisciplinary and co-creative research on societal challenges linked to sustainable development. UUniCORN will identify, analyse and navigate conflicting objectives in societal transitions.

To help achieve these goals, the Co-Creation Lab has been launched within UUniCORN. The Lab serves as a platform with three tasks:

  • to support process design using co-creative methods in transdisciplinary research applications and research projects
  • to support skills development in co-creation
  • to analyse methods and approaches to co-creation, from planning and implementation to monitoring and evaluating the impact of co-creation on change processes.

A workshop will be held on 26 March 2025, offering academics and actors in society a chance to come together to influence current, planned and future projects in the Co-Creation Lab.

Find out more and register for the workshop by 10 February 2025.

Facts about UUniCORN

Vice-Chancellor Anders Hagfeldt wants Uppsala University to take a leading role on the road to a more sustainable society. In order to achieve this, the Vice-Chancellor has decided to invest in research institutes in selected areas. This initiative goes under the name of Uppsala University’s Institute for the Future (UUniFI).

Initially, UUniFI will consist of six institutes in the areas of:

  • sustainable development with a focus on conflicting objectives and on synergies
  • migration
  • precision health
  • green energy conversion
  • AI and digitalisation
  • interdisciplinarity and multidisciplinarity.

The Uppsala University Conflicting Objectives Research Nexus (UUniCORN) started up in September 2024. UUniCORN is the first of the institutes that are part of UUniFI to be launched. Preparatory work is under way to be able to start operations for the other five planned institutes.
