Research infrastructure
Successful research depends on first-rate infrastructure in the form of experimental equipment, databases, libraries, collections and biobanks. Uppsala University hosts several national and international research infrastructures. The University also participates in numerous research infrastructures led by other higher education institutions and organisations.
