The Vision for Umeå University and the Umeå University common basic values form the basis for how students and employees should treat each other and society, and what future we want for ourselves.
Vision for Umeå UniversityThe vision charts our way forward, describes where Umeå University aspires to be in the future, and is anchored in three guiding principles:
- Responsibility for the future
- Collaborative development of knowledge
- Competitive edge and pride
The overall principles describe the responsibility that Umeå University assumes for meeting societal challenges, our plan to further the development of research and education, and how we will position ourselves in the world and increase our ability to attract students, members of faculty and staff, collaborative partners and funding.
The vision is primarily designed for university faculty, staff and students, and should be the basis for all organisational planning. It will remain valid as long as it is considered meaningful and provides an effective guide for the choices, priorities and decisions made at all organisational levels.
The Vision was established by the University Board on 3 April 2019 and replaces Vision 2020.
