About CNS
At CNS we conduct research and education in the field of neuroscience - from the molecular level to the societal level. Our clinical focus means that much of the research is conducted close to patients. With over 75 research groups, there are great opportunities for exciting collaborations. We are also one of the most education-intensive departments at the university, with responsibility for the optometry programs, the psychology program, and part of the medical program.
We are about 520 employees and 650 affiliated, of which 240 are doctoral students, at the department. The activities are conducted within six divisions, which also correspond to the department's main research areas. Bellow you will find information about how the CNS organization is structured and our councils and groups.
The organization is centered around the research groups, where the group leader has financial responsibility for his or her group and a high degree of independence. At the department, over 75 research groups work in a very broad field - from the molecular level to the societal level, in several different disciplines and with a diversity of methods.
Many of the research groups work closely with patients, especially at Karolinska University Hospital Solna and Huddinge, St. Göran's Hospital and St. Erik's Eye Hospital. The focus is on mental and neurological diseases, but also diseases linked to addiction and substance abuse, insurance medicine, and eye and vision.
The Department board
The work at the Department of Clinical Neuroscience (CNS) is led by Head of Department Mats J Olsson together with the Department's Administrative Director, Karin Wallin Blomberg and the management team.
Work environment group
The work environment group aims to clarify the work environment consequences in all decisions made at the department.
The group is consists of representatives from all the different areas of activity, both employees and employers as well as safety representatives. The group helps the Head of Department to initiate safety rounds, to be a link between the department and the Work Environment Committee, between the department and Company Health Care and between the department and Student Health.

Collaboration Council
The function of the Department council is advisory and it is meant to be a forum for dialogue and the anchoring of the decisions of the Head of department with the orientation towards strategy and activity this is why the Department council consists of members from different groupings of the department, especially concerning research, undergraduate education, the equality aspect and representation of technical/administrative personnel and students.
The aim is that the composition of the council is balanced so that the viewpoints and work experience of all members will be noticed and that they are given the chance to make themselves heard.
