Knowledge for society
At Karlstad University, the step between knowledge and practical application is short. We educate and conduct research on societally important knowledge, working together for a better society. We challenge the established and explore the unknown.
Our approach to each other and the world is characterized by openness and curiosity. There is a closeness between people, between disciplines, and between education and research. Democracy, equality, diversity, tolerance, and sustainability guide our decisions.
As a university, we support the Magna Charta Universitatum, the international declaration on the free and independent role of higher education institutions in society.
