Mission

Universeum is the national science centre of Sweden. We give children and adults the knowledge and power to make the earth a better and more sustainable place to live.

The world’s most important mission

At Universeum, we explore the world through science and technology. The experiences increase children’s and adults’ knowledge of everything from atoms and artificial intelligence to the Big Bang and biodiversity.

We believe in putting experiences, subjects and questions in a larger context. See them in an interdisciplinary perspective that makes us understand how the world is connected and works. Making us see our own part in the big picture.

We believe in science. Therefore, everything we do is based on a strong scientific foundation. It is important that there is a public arena such as Universeum, a place where citizens, academia, business and the public can meet. Where questions and ideas about the world and science can move freely. Where the power to act for a sustainable future is born, given fuel and praised.

We believe in sustainable development – and that we are an important part of it. We believe in lifelong learning. We believe in human ability and the will to make a difference. To do good.

Our part in this is to give people the knowledge and power they need to make the earth a better and more sustainable place to live.

Our mission.

Universeum is a public arena for lifelong learning, where children and adults can explore the world through natural science and technology. We create experiences that boost creativity and capacity for innovation, increase knowledge and activate critical thinking. With science as a foundation and teaching methods that engage, we challenge people to enrich their lives and take action to achieve a sustainable world.

The national science centre of Sweden

Universeum is Sweden’s national science center and one of the ten most visited experiences in Sweden. This makes us a powerful arena for education and public education in science, technology and sustainable development.

Vi verkar på tre plattformar med Sverige som räckvidd: Universeum, Universeum Digital och Universeum Mobil.

As early as 1999, Universeum was allocated state funds to work with public education and education in sustainable development. What was then a relatively unexplored area is now at the top of everyone’s agendas.

Together for a sustainable world

Universeum opened on June 8, 2001. Then as now, we are a non-profit limited company owned by the Korsvägen Foundation. Behind the foundation are the four founders: Chalmers, the University of Gothenburg, the Gothenburg region and the West Swedish Chamber of Commerce. We are as proud as we are grateful for our close cooperation with the founders.

To develop our business and create new experiences, we depend on the support and commitment of others. Our long-term collaboration with Universeum’s main partners is invaluable. They give us the conditions to develop knowledge experiences that contribute to increased innovation power, strengthened supply of skills and a sustainable societal development – goals that we share.
