Örebro University is an international workplace.
We who work and study in Örebro come from different parts of the world. We collaborate with students, researchers, and institutions in many countries. Still, wars and conflicts around the world may sometimes affect us in different ways.
On this page, we’ve gathered sources on how to find information and where to turn in times of crisis, war, or conflict.
Emergency information from Swedish authorities
At krisinformation.se/en Swedish authorities provide up-to-date information during crises or critical events in society. The authority or actor responsible has verified all the information on their website.
For example, you can learn of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs advisories against travel to a particular country or if the security situation requires special vigilance for those in the country. The website also provides many valuable tips and advice on handling a crisis. Information is available in both Swedish and English.
Exchange students
The International Office maintains ongoing contact with both incoming and outgoing students. You can contact the International Office here.
Students and staff
Campus Health Centre offers help and support to students and staff.

The University Chaplaincy offers support to students and staff regardless of religious or ideological affiliation.

Örebro University aims to be a safe and secure environment for all students and employees.

Support efforts for researchers from Ukraine
Several Swedish universities and research funders offer various forms of support to Ukrainian researchers and doctoral students. Here, you will find information about current support measures.
If you have questions about employing a Ukrainian colleague, contact hr@oru.se for more information. Sweden’s labour laws and agreements apply, so there are no specific exceptions when hiring Ukrainian citizens.
