Research at Umeå University is innovative and extends over many disciplines and scientific fields. We carry out groundbreaking, top-level international research within such areas as ageing and population studies, infection biology, global health, and plant and forest biotechnology.

Umeå University is not an academic island. We seek to share our knowledge and our research findings. External contacts are of extreme importance, as is an on-going dialogue with the general public, with the public sector and with industry. To this end, we have established special resources aimed at building bridges of understanding and mutual enlightenment between education/research and society/industry. Among these special resources are organizations such as the Office for External Relations, Uminova Innovation, and Uminova Invest.

Umeå University is the flagship institution of higher education in northern Sweden. We offer a broad range of academic opportunities, including creative learning evironments, an exciting campus life and valuable support services.
