Pint of Science

^{2019 & 2020}

Due to the current outbreak of Covid-19, the Pint of Science Festival planned for May 2020 is postponed to September (and all other events are cancelled/postponed until further notice). 

Demystifying scientific research and sharing it in a relaxed atmosphere.

The annual Pint of Science festival in the month of May allows researchers across multiple disciplines to engage with the public in an accessible and comfortable place and time, such as over a drink in an evening at the pub or similar venue. Fun events as Quiz between talks with goodies are organized also. For the first time in 2019, the event was organized in Sweden: Uppsala, Lund, Linköping and Stockholm. 

The 2019 event was supported by the DEVREG Doctoral Programme.

 

Zoobiquity event at KI

^{September 2019}

Leading physicians and veterinarians gathered at Biomedicum for the Zoobiquity conference on September 3. The event, in collaboration with the DEVREG Doctoral Programme, offered attendees to immerse in bio-inspired research focused on two major challenges in women’s health: Cardiovascular Disease and Reproductive health, including fertility Preservation.
