Umeå University was founded in 1965 and is Sweden's fifth oldest university. Today, we have a strong international and multicultural presence with students, teachers and researchers from all over the world. Our university has approximately 29,000 students and over 4,100 employees.

The university has long worked to bring about communication between fields, interdisciplinary thinking, with new approaches and perspectives in mind. Besides our seven university colleges, at Umeå University, 24 research centres have been established offering interdisciplinary research, which in many cases is being carried out by our internationally successful, highly respected researchers.

We have campus in the three northernmost counties of Sweden, with our main campus in the city of Umeå in the county of Västerbotten.

Our EU Project Office - within External Relations - is your contact point for international research cooperation with the university and our regional, national and international partners from universities, industry and society.

The European Union framework programmes (50 billion Euro) for Research (FP 7) and Competitiveness and Innovation (CIP) invite most countries to cooperate with Europe, and our university is involved in many fruitful and exciting cooperative ventures throughout Europe and the world.
