“If you do not know the names of things, the knowledge of them is lost, too”
Now is the time to support Evolutionsmuseet
“The world is in a biodiversity crisis. We are talking about the sixth mass extinction on planet Earth. We need to use every means we can to improve the prospects for future generations, and natural history museums have in their collections data that will become increasingly important in this perspective. We can help describe the past, present and future.”
Evolutionsmuseet Director Mats Eriksson
Your support can make a difference!
“The overall goal of Uppsala University is to gain and disseminate knowledge for the benefit of humankind and for a better world. We seek to open up new areas of knowledge through cross-disciplinary collaboration and help find sustainable solutions to the challenges facing society.
Uppsala University is successful in attracting research funding in national and international competition. But to achieve our full potential and attain our ambitious goals, we need additional resources. Your support can make the difference. Additional long-term, independent sources of funding will enable us to develop our University’s autonomy and capacity for renewal and augment our contribution to a better world.”
