About us

Critical Heritage Studies was a University of Gothenburg priority research area from 2010 to 2015. Between 2016-2022 the Centre for Critical Heritage Studies was funded by the UGOT Challenges initiative. From 2023 the centre is funded jointly by the participating faculties and departments at the University of Gothenburg.

Centres within the UGOT Challenges
Six strong research centres are included in UGOT Challenges, and all of them are based on important and current societal issues. This effort has SEK 300 million in funding and is based on the idea that strong interdisciplinary research is needed to solve the current global societal challenges.
The centres in UGOT Challenges span over a broad range of subjects. All have strong interdisciplinary components. Some initiatives are new; others are built on former research structures that are now expanded based on the societal challenge perspective.
