Collaboration in Science promotes research collaborations and the future of Flemingsberg

Every two years, Karolinska Institutet and Karolinska University Hospital jointly organize the Collaboration in Science conference. This event serves as a meeting place designed to strengthen and promote translational research collaborations between basic and clinical research. It also functions as a platform for those seeking a deeper insight into their colleagues’ ongoing projects or exploring the services offered by core facilities.

Campus Flemingsberg is a hub of expertise and groundbreaking research achievements. Since 2022, Karolinska Institutet and Karolinska University Hospital have hosted this successful conference, which fosters research collaborations with a clear focus on the future.

“It’s wonderful that the success of Collaboration in Science was repeated this time – and exceeded all expectations! Fantastic atmosphere, exciting short presentations on a wide range of topics – incredibly educational. Inspiring keynotes, posters, and exhibitions of core facilities, as well as mingling, meetings, and discussions. I truly believe the purpose of the conference was achieved: stimulating research collaborations. It’s inspiring to see how much is happening and being planned in Flemingsberg. I’m already looking forward to the next conference.” – Maria Eriksdotter, Professor and Senior Consultant in Geriatrics, Karolinska Institutet and Karolinska Huddinge, former Dean of KI South.

The conference takes a broad societal perspective, connecting research with the local environment. Discussions focus on the future and how everything works together to create a competitive innovation ecosystem and enable successful research.

But it also showcases the ambition to take further steps by fostering more interactions between research groups and disciplines. Flemingsberg Science Foundation is proud to be part of the conference and contribute with different perspectives – this time focusing on the development of Flemingsberg as a city and how urban development and campus growth go hand in hand.” – Johnny Högberg, CEO of Flemingsberg Science Foundation.
