Flemingsberg Science Foundation welcomes Uroš Mićić as the new Community Manager

In December last year, the Flemingsberg Science Foundation was granted funding from the European Regional Development Fund to establish itself as a key player in Life Science with the launch of the “Cluster Engine Life Science Flemingsberg” project. Meet Uroš Mićić, the foundation’s new Community Manager, who will work on developing the Life Science cluster in Flemingsberg.

Uroš, tell us a bit about yourself

— I have two bachelor’s degrees, one from Uppsala University in sustainability and energy transition, and another from Hyper Island’s AI Business Consulting program. But my greatest passion lies in bringing people together through events and workshops. During my studies at Hyper Island, I started my podcast “Network like a pro,” and over three years, I’ve recorded almost 50 episodes with various CEOs, entrepreneurs, founders, and professionals.

— Previously, I combined my passion for networking and workshops by organizing panels on professional development. That’s when I realized I could create my own talk shows by bringing in a camera and an audience — something that was very well received.

What are you most looking forward to in your new role?

— I’m excited to get to know Flemingsberg’s ecosystem and use my networking skills to build bridges between departments, companies, and academics.

What are your thoughts on Flemingsberg, both now and in the future?

— It’s fascinating to learn about Flemingsberg’s history and how it has evolved into the science and innovation hub it is today. It’s also interesting to reach individuals who may be stuck in their work routines, helping them step out of their comfort zones and discover the ecosystem around them. That’s where I come in — not only to create touchpoints but also to facilitate enjoyable and memorable experiences, making our events the highlights of people’s everyday lives.

Creating a sustainable rubber from ordinary birch bark

Two-thirds of all rubber used in the world is made from oil. But now a sustainable process is being developed by a company named Reselo, which involves extracting rubber from birch bark. The bark itself is a residual product from today’s forest industry.
