URKUND from the start till today
URKUND was born from the academic world. A team of teachers developed the idea of a web based service that would help them detect and deter plagiarism and URKUND was born in the fall of 2000. The problem of plagiarism received much attention in the media and more and more began realise the scope of the problem and the need of a tool to support the pedagogical work. URKUND continued to grow and develop over the years and came to be recognised as Sweden's foremost anti plagiarism service.

Today, URKUND is present in our neighbouring countries and continental Europe as well as the USA, Asia and the Middle East.

URKUND is a natural part of the educational work of the academic world today. Both faculty and students are aware of the immediate and long term benefits of our system.

The need for URKUND has also been recognised by the Government and private enterprises. They require methods of asserting that documents that are to be published are free from plagiarism and that their intellectual property isn't plagiarised in turn.
