University of Gothenburg

name: University of Gothenburg
description: 'The University of Gothenburg (Göteborgs universitet) is a public research university in Sweden, founded in 1891,
  with roughly 37,000 students and 6,000 employees, and ranked #194 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. Its public,
  machine-accessible footprint is research- and library-centric rather than a unified developer program: the Gothenburg University
  Library operates the GUPEA institutional repository (DSpace) which exposes a standards-based OAI-PMH metadata interface,
  and the Quality of Government (QoG) Institute publishes open-access datasets via downloads and a Data Finder tool. The university
  does not appear to operate a central, documented developer portal with public REST API keys; affiliated technical work is
  distributed across departmental GitHub organizations.'
