About the Department of Government

In 1622, Johan Skytte bequeathed land and property to Uppsala University. The donation was to finance a professorship in Eloquentia et politices (eloquence and politics). Over the centuries, a strong political science department has evolved around the professorship. The department is located at Gamla Torget 6 and in the historic building Skytteanum in Uppsala.
Johan Skytte Prize
The Johan Skytte chair in Eloquence and Government is probably the world’s oldest active professorship in political science. The lands included in the original donation continue to finance research and the Johan Skytte Prize. The prize money of SEK 500,000 is awarded every year by the Skytte Foundation at Uppsala University to the person who has made the “most valuable contribution to political science”.
