Unchanged security situation at Umeå University

NEWS In recent months, the security situation in Sweden has worsened. Umeå University's security team has not received any indications that the threat levels against Umeå University have changed.

In recent months, in the wake of incidents including Quran burnings in Sweden, the security situation in Sweden has worsened. On Thursday, 17 August, the Swedish Security Service raised the terror threat level from three (Elevated) to four (High) on a five-point scale.

Umeå University's security team has not received any indications that the threat levels against Umeå University have changed or worsened. Our assessment is that Umeå University's campuses are safe and secure for students, staff and others to visit, study and work at.

Nevertheless, we encourage not to be afraid, but be cautious and aware. Report any deviating behaviour to campus security officers by phone on +46 90-786 76 00. In the case of a serious incident, always dial 112.

The Swedish Security Service and other relevant authorities are monitoring developments and assessing potential threats against Sweden to protect the country. Follow the security situation on the Swedish Security Service's website.
