Strategies and core values

Strategies for Stockholm University 2023–2026 state the overall vision and direction for the university's operations and priorities.

The idea of the modern university, shaped in the spirit of the Enlightenment, has characterised Stockholm University ever since its inception. Rooted in a millennial European tradition, universities drive the emergence of new knowledge and the future society. Europe’s multifaceted cultural and educational heritage is a common ground for this. The modern research university, with its collegial governance and research-based education, has a central place here.

 

Strategies

This is how the strategies for the next four years begin. It should show who we are, what we want and where we are going. It clarifies our core values, focus and ambition within the framework of four identified strategic areas.

The Strategies are presented every four years and laid down by the university board. The Strategies also include the profile areas for research.
