Our profile
Örebro University is a prominent broad-based university offering strong professional degree programmes and conducting research that spans no less than 36 subjects across all disciplines. The knowledge fostered at Örebro University is disseminated and benefits society. In the same way, ideas and needs from the world around us inform the university’s activities and development.
University-wide centres
We have gathered leading-edge expertise within two university-wide centres – the AI, Robotics and Cybersecurity Center (ARC) and the Food and Health Center. These centres will promote research that clearly addresses societal challenges and engages in established collaboration with industry, the public sector, and civil society.
Research profile areas
In our profile areas, Pollution and Society and Crisis and Transformation, researchers come together across disciplines to broaden perspectives within education, research, and collaboration, ultimately leading towards a knowledge-driven society.
In addition, Örebro University is developing a knowledge area around AI and robotics as part of the initiative Campus Total Defence. Campus Total Defence is a unique collaboration between Swedish higher education institutions aiming to strengthen the Swedish total defence by offering tailored courses and research. It is coordinated by the Swedish Defence University, Luleå University of Technology and Örebro University.
All this rests on a multidisciplinary platform designed to contribute to a sustainable future.
Although they do not capture the full range of our activities, these profile areas are key elements of who we are.
The Knowledge Foundation’s Research Profile scheme is designed to provide universities with the opportunity to develop strategically important areas of research and create internationally competitive research centres – in collaboration with business sector partners.
