Uppsala University Future Institutes supports researchers taking on societal challenges through world-class interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research. The initiative cuts across the breadth of Uppsala University to take on new perspectives and contribute new knowledge to the most complex issues of our time.
Uppsala University Future Institute, UUniFI, comprises six thematic and methodology-oriented institutes: UUniFI AI, led by Sven Nelander; UUniFI Circus, led by Claes-Fredrik Helgesson; UUniFI Energy Transition, led by Malin Göteman; UUniFI Migration, led by Olof Åslund; UUniFI Goal Conflicts (formerly UUniCORN), led by Mats Målqvist; and UUniFI Precision Health, led by Åsa Johansson.
The work of UUniFI is lead by Head of Institute Director Tobias Sjöblom.
In addition to supporting researchers, UUniFI offers, among other things, a shared research and working environment for interdisciplinary projects in its premises at Segerstedt Building in Uppsala.
