2018In today's climate of increasing questioning of human rights, solid, independent research in the field is needed more than ever. The Raoul Wallenberg Institute has long conducted some of Sweden's most solid research and education in human rights. In addition, in collaboration with Lund University, we run Sweden's oldest master's program on human rights.
The Raoul Wallenberg Institute Library is the leading library in Sweden and Northern Europe in the field of human rights research. Thanks to generous grants from the Torsten Söderberg Foundation, the library has been able to maintain an up-to-date, broad collection of literature, which facilitates advanced international research in human rights. The library serves as a vital resource for researchers in the field, including those from the Raoul Wallenberg Institute, nearby institutions such as Lund and Malmö Universities, and as a national resource with users from across Sweden. Additionally, the library is extensively used by foreign researchers with whom the Institute collaborates and supports in developing countries.
