The timeline follows the origins of Örebro University from its start in the 1960s to its 25th anniversary in 2024. Along the way, three campuses with different subject focuses have been developed. The number of programs has steadily increased, and today, among many others, medical and law programs are offered. The university is also engaged in robotics and AI research as well as food and health sciences.
One key event in the timeline is the establishment of Örebro University College in 1977 through a merger of the Uppsala University branch, the Preschool Teaching Seminary, the College of Physical Education and Sport Science, and the College of Social Sciences. Another significant event is the establishment of Örebro University in 1999, which led to new opportunities for conducting research and offering doctoral education.
