Uppsala Ministry for the Future
Through art forms—such as literature, visual arts, and performing arts—the Uppsala Ministry for the Future aims to promote bold, interdisciplinary collaboration between researchers and societal actors that sparks originality, stimulates new insights, and discovers new ways of researching future societal challenges.
Together with the Department of Business Studies, UUniFI has established a forum and community that brings together researchers, authors, artists, and societal actors to explore solutions to global future challenges.
The initiative is called Uppsala Ministry for the Future and is inspired by the Oxford Ministry for the Future.
