This year it is 50 years since the Faculty of Social Sciences at Umeå University was formed. We are therefore looking forward to celebrating 50 years of fantastic developments in research, education and collaboration during the Anniversary Week, 16-23 November 2018.
During the week a series of activities are organized including an opening ceremony, an open house for the general public, popular science lectures, and many other activities. The celebration ends Friday the 23rd of November with some special anniversary lectures by invited guests (in the afternoon in Hörsal A, in Lindellhallen – the program will be in Swedish) followed by a buffet in the evening at Universum for employees of the Faculty of Social Sciences.
Our hope is that you will be able to join us during the celebration. While much of the program will be in Swedish, we want to especially encourage our non-Swedish speaking coworkers to take part in:
