Karolinska Institutet Discovers
Junior Faculty welcomes you to the Karolinska Institutet (KI) Discovers series for the Autumn of 2024. The KI Discovers series aims to give insight into the latest scientific achievements across various disciplines at Karolinska Institutet by highlighting recently published outstanding papers. The first KI Discovers of the season will be hosted on the 11th of September and presented by Dr. Jens Hjerling-Leffler.
Since 2012, the KI Discovers seminars have presented excellent research conducted at this university. The seminar series was founded by Professor Mats Wahlgren, at the time KI’s Pro-Dean of Research.
The seminar series is funded by the Board of Research and hosted by Junior Faculty, with administrative support of the Communications and Public Relations Office at KI.
The seminars are held on Wednesdays between 12:15 and 13:15, in a hybrid form both on-site at either campus Solna or campus Huddinge and in Zoom. No registration is needed.
Sandwiches, coffee, and tea are served on-site at the beginning of the seminars. First come, first served, including limited options for people with dietary restrictions.
