Collaborations & Networks
One of the fundamental tasks of the faculty is to contribute to the development and use of legal knowledge, regionally, nationally and internationally. Collaboration with the surrounding society is therefore a priority task for both research and education and is conducted through several different channels.
EXCHANGE OF KNOWLEDGE THROUGH COLLABORATION
The Faculty of Law collaborates and interacts with a large amount of individuals and organisations in our society. This manifests in different ways and through various channels, for instance by official opinions, alumni activities and contract education. We also have a mutual knowledge exchange between our students and practitioners of law, as the students continuously do internships at law firms, authorities and various organizations. In return, law practitioners from, amongst others, these bodys come and teach at our courses.

Our Centres, Forums and Networks
There are several centres, forums and networks connected to the Faculty of Law, working to strengthen research and education within their respective fields. Some have links to other operations inside and outside the university while others are independent units.
Below is a list of our cooperation forums in alphabetical order:
Centre for Multidisciplinary Studies on Racism (CEMFOR)
Centre for Multidisciplinary Studies on Racism (CEMFOR) at Uppsala university conducts, supports and coordinates broad-ranging, methodologically diverse and inclusive, as well as multidisciplinary research on racism, discrimination and integration.
Centre for Multidisciplinary Research on Religion and Society (CRS)
CRS is a multidisciplinary centre at Uppsala University, a Centre of Excellence for research on religious and social change processes in Sweden, Europe and globally.
CRS conducts internationally distinguished, multidisciplinary research. Social issues brought to the fore by people's existential experiences and the increasing visibility and presence of religions are the main areas of research.
CENTRE FOR POLICE RESEARCH (CPF)
The centre works to coordinate police research and higher police training at the university. Current research is presented regularly at seminars and conferences. An important goal is to be a national knowledge partner and an internationally leading research node for police research. The Faculty of Law hosts the activities.
GOTHENBURG / LUND / UPPSALA MIGRATION LAW NETWORK
The Gothenburg / Lund / Uppsala Migration Law Network (GLUMIN) is a collaboration between Uppsala, Lund and Gothenburg Faculties of Law and the Department of Philosophy at Uppsala University with the aim of developing migration law and migration law research in Sweden.
The research network includes researchers in the field of migration law active at most of the country's universities and colleges. GL/UMIN also serves as a national research environment for researchers in the field of migration law within the framework of which seminars and workshops are arranged and collaborated in different constellations within and between higher education institutions.
THE INSTITUTE FOR REAL ESTATE LAW RESEARCH, IFF
IFF's task is to stimulate research in the field of real estate law and to organise both seminars and symposia with a strong practical focus. Another task is to follow up and try to influence the property law legislation. IFF is an independent institute with its own premises at the Faculty of Law.
THE INSTITUTE FOR EDUCATION LAW, IFU
IfU:s purpose is to inspire and support research and education in the field of education law in Sweden in the widest possible way. Based on the broad scientific university environment, IfU shall work to ensure that jurisprudence and related issues, with a focus on schools and higher education institutions, are highlighted in a fruitful way.
The goal is to become the most important educational law centre in Sweden. Another goal is that research and other activities in the field of education law should enrich other areas of society as well.
The International Centre for Evidence-Based Criminal Law (EB-CRIME)
The International Centre for Evidence-Based Criminal Law (EB-CRIME) is a network that - by giving them guidlines to a new scientific approach to criminal justice - aims to facilitate evidence-based decision making by police, prosecutors, coroners, and judges in order to prevent wrongful convictions.
Leadership, Efficiency, Legality in Peacetime Crises (LERF)
A research collaboration on Swedish peacetime crisis preparedness with a focus on constitutional, administrative law and administrative policy aspects.
Legal Research Network
The Legal Research Network (LRN) was founded in 2006 by the faculties of law of the Universities of Groningen, Turku and Uppsala. The Universities of Bristol, Budapest (ELTE), Ghent, Göttingen and Lille-Nord de France have since joined the network.
The Legal Research Network (LRN) aims at improving the international profile of its members, strengthening (thematic) research cooperation by its staff, and promoting the international scientific perspectives of its young researchers.
LRN is thematically a general network in law. The annual Conference and Summer School are organized around specific themes which are approachable from different fields of legal research.
Obehörig användning av e-legitimation
För inte så länge sedan krävde nästan alla bankärenden en egenhändig signatur på papper. Utvecklingen har gått snabbt och från de första stegen med engångskoder och kod-dosor har BankID blivit en självklarhet för att identifiera sig i många olika sammanhang. Med möjligheten att identifiera sig på detta enkla sätt har också risken för missbruk ökat. I domstolspraxis och i nämndpraxis finns många exempel på att enskilda ser ut att ha tagit lån de inte känner till, och att bankkontot tömts utan att kontohavaren alls vet var pengarna hamnat eller hur det hela har gått till.
De problem som har uppstått är av stor betydelse både för enskilda och för den finansiella branschen, samtidigt som de rättsliga frågorna som uppkommer kan vara både komplexa och svårhanterliga. Detta forskningsprojekt syftar till att, i samverkan med det omgivande samhället, identifiera frågor av stor betydelse för samhället och de aktuella branscherna och bidra med viktig forskning på detta angelägna området.
SWEDISH INSTITUTE FOR INTERNATIONAL LAW, SIFIR
SIFIR works to promote research and teaching in international law. The Institute works towards this goal by purchasing international law literature for the Legal Library, arranging seminars and conferences and publishing scientific articles. Each year, the Institute awards a prize for best degree project in international law: the SIFIR Thesis Prize. The Board consists of members from the Faculty of Law and representatives from the Ministry for Foreign Affairs.
Uppsala Human Rights Research Network
The network aims to highlight and further develop existing research on legal, ethical, philosophical and political perspectives on human rights and link it to current issues such as threats to rights, the different status of rights for different groups, the theoretical basis of rights and how rights can be demanded and implemented.
To be able to do this, our researchers gather around a variety of activities. We also want to create new contacts, meeting places and conversations that promote research and in-depth study for the network's members, for the university, and for society. The idea is also to create the conditions for joint applications to establish new research environments or programmes in the longer term.
UPPSALA FORUM FOR DEMOCRACY, PEACE AND JUSTICE
The Forum promotes interdisciplinary and cross-institutional research and education. An important goal is to achieve an increased internationalization of the research environments within the collaboration. The forum arranges seminars, workshops, lectures and courses. The collaboration includes six units and institutions.
