News, press and media
As a public university, Karolinska Institutet has both an obligation and a wish to inform the outside world about our research and education. Contacts with journalists are an important part of this work, but equally important is our own news channels for exampel at ki.se. Here we present useful information about press releases, news articles, and media contacts when you work at KI.
Contact details and opening hours
The Press Office can be reached on +46 (0)8-524 860 77 or pressinfo@ki.se. Opening hours: 09:00-17:00 CET on weekdays, closed on Christmas, New Year, Easter and Midsummer.
The news editor can be reached on news@ki.se during office hours.
Please note that many staff at the Communications Office are on holiday from Midsummer to mid-August, and that our capacity to support work on news and press releases is limited during this period.
