Research and education in the U.S. – Current situation and possible impacts
The U.S. is a world-leading research nation, and Karolinska Institutet has extensive collaborations with universities, institutes, and researchers in the country. Recent changes implemented by the presidential administration may affect the conditions for research and educational collaborations with the U.S.
The exact consequences of these decisions and announced changes for international collaborations remain uncertain, especially since several decisions have been challenged and are now being reviewed in federal courts. However, it is likely that both existing and future initiatives in research, exchanges, and funding will face challenges in both the short and long term.
Strengthened Preparedness
To enhance Karolinska Institutet’s readiness and ability to act on developments in the U.S., a cross-functional resource group has been established. This group brings together expertise from various parts of KI and works to monitor, inform, and respond to changes through internal and external networks. The group's mission includes supporting university leadership and other research stakeholders, keeping track of global developments, and coordinating joint initiatives when necessary.
