Initiatives for newcomers and integration

All over the world, people are forced to flee their home countries. In order to handle the present situation and ensure sustainable ways forward, there is a great need for research and education. Here we give you a quick overview of the University's initiatives for newcomers and integration.

Education is of crucial importance to both the individual and the future of war-torn nations. Research generates new knowledge, which needs to be disseminated and put to practical use in various ways.

As a university, we have a responsibility to safeguard values such as academic freedom, humanism and human rights. We have a responsibility to contribute with our knowledge as an education provider and as a research institution, but also as an employer.
