The Raoul Wallenberg Professorship 
– You can help prevent future genocide

Help us endow a permanent chair in Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Uppsala University. We want to reinforce Uppsala University’s position as an international leader in research in this truly vital field. The knowledge and contacts associated with an internationally recognized professorship will benefit research, education, and public awareness. The professorship will advance the cause of human rights and with this, our ability to prevent future genocide.

Spinal Injectibles

People suffering from spinal injuries and illnesses will be relieved to discover that major operations with lengthy healing periods can be avoided. Uppsala University is a leader in this field and we are determined to put the results of our research into practice.

Resistance to Antibiotics – A threat to global health

Resistance to antibiotics is an enormous worldwide problem. Almost all bacteria will become resistant to today’s medicine, and within just a few years we will be faced with unimaginable setbacks, medically, socially and economically. Unless we act now.

Towards Lasting International Peace – Tomorrow’s strategies for conflict resolution

War between countries is very rare today, but war within countries continues to be one of humanity’s greatest tragedies. How do we build a lasting peace after a civil war? How do we prevent war in the first place?

Asking the Big Questions – Human perspectives within medicine

Many of the questions within medical history and culture are of an ethical nature. For example, how should we deal with genetic data? How do medical research and healthcare operate in a media-driven world? How does an increasingly mobile global population affect people’s health?

Cracking the Runic Code

Figuring out what runic inscriptions really meant has been both a popular and a scholarly endeavor for more than a millennium. Front-line research is carried out at Uppsala University, but runic discovery is now entering a critical phase. Are you ready to get involved?
