  5. UGOT Challenges – Research to meet global challenges • The premise: A strong multidisciplinary research effort is needed to meet today’s global societal challenges. • Six research centres that cover many research disciplines. • All have significant multidisciplinary elements. • Some initiatives are new, others come from earlier research structures that have widened as a result of the global challenges perspective. • UGOT Challenges is a six-year initiative that started in 2016.
