During the academic year 2010/11, an evaluation (KoF11) of the research at all faculties of Uppsala University has been carried out in order to assess the quality of research and to identify opportunities for renewal. The main objective of the evaluation exercise was to identify strong research activities in specific areas as well as in multi-disciplinary constellations and to offer advice on activities with potential to develop into new strong areas of research. A follow-up of how recommendations from the previous evaluation, KoF07, had been handled was also an objective. The evaluation was intended to provide the university management with reliable background material for the decision-making process and also to offer departments and faculties support in their quality development work.
