Swedish Educational Broadcasting Company, also known as UR, Utbildningsradion, and Sveriges Utbildningsradio, is a state-owned public service broadcasting corporation operating under an autonomous governance structure owned by an independent, non-profit foundation, Förvaltningsstiftelsen för SR, SVT och UR, and headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden. Established in 1978, with approximately 340 employees, the company reported $45.2 million in revenue as of 2024, and functions as a tier 2 media tech buyer. Functioning as a vertically integrated educational media studio and technological learning enterprise focused on media and TV services, it traces its historical origins back to educational Skolradio (school radio) broadcasts initiated by the National Board of Education in 1928. UR operates as one of the three foundational pillars of Swedish public service media, alongside Sveriges Radio (SR) and Sveriges Television (SVT). The organization operates with a constitutionally protected public service mandate to broaden horizons, strengthen democracy, and increase the general level of knowledge throughout the Swedish population. The studio maintains a proprietary intellectual property repository containing thousands of hours of academic programming, linguistic resources, and specialized multi-media curricula that have shaped Nordic pedagogical practices.
