The UZHR aims to raise awareness of human rights issues. It actively promotes the transfer of knowledge to business, politics and the interested general public. As an interdisciplinary scientific network, the UZHR is at the forefront of human rights research and teaching and thus contributes to the visibility of UZH in this field. The UZHR cooperates internationally with universities and human rights institutions abroad through joint projects and events.
