Research
The Human Rights Profile Area forsters a human rights community at Lund University where researchers working with human rights connect and collaborate and get in contact with our collaboration partners and civil society organizations.
To promote research advancement, we organize activities related to research that are open to both our members and partners, and some also for the public. Twice per year, we offer seed funding opportunities to facilitate the initiation of new interdisciplinary research ideas.
