Popular science and dialogue
Research communication is a core activity at KI that enables the public, organisations and policy makers to access new knowledge and make evidence-based decisions. We showcase our research through various channels, such as news and press releases, the popular science magazine Medicinsk Vetenskap, the podcast Medicinvetarna, lectures and events of different kinds.
Reading
Interviews and portraits
Meet some of our researchers and doctoral students. The interviews and feature articles have previously been published in our Swedish magazine Medicinsk Vetenskap (Medical Science) or online on news.ki.se.
Spotlight on medical research
Our “Spotlight on” series is a collection of news articles, interviews and in-depth articles featuring various topics in medicine and health. It’s popular science at its best.
Academcis writing popular science
The Conversation is a politically unaffiliated, non-profit international online news platform where articles are written by academics within their own area of expertise. Find articles and comments written by researchers at Karolinska Institutet.
Meetings and events
The Cell – a new meeting spot for science and art
The Cell is the new venue of the National Museum of Science and Technology, situated in Hagastaden in Stockholm with Karolinska Institutet as knowledge partner. This is a place where science meets art through inspirational and engaging activities. Right now, The Cell offers the exhibition Borderlands by the Australian artist Helen Pynor.
Nobel Calling Stockholm
Every year in October, the recipients of the Nobel Prizes are announced. In connection with this, the Nobel Prize Museum organizes inspirational events and instructive meetings in collaboration with, among others, Karolinska Institutet.

About animal research
Why is research conducted on animals? How are the animals treated, and why can’t tests be conducted on humans directly? A significant portion of the research at KI is carried out using, for example, cell cultures, but animal testing is still needed in several areas to gain new knowledge about diseases and treatments. Read more on our pages about animal testing.”
Research subjects wanted
Would you like to participate in our clinical research projects as a trial subject? Your participation will contribute to progress in research, which can also result in new or more effective treatments, in Sweden and worldwide. Please note that there are more ads in Swedish than in English.
Thesis defenses open to the public
One of the missions of Karolinska Institutet is to educate new researchers. The doctoral education concludes with a thesis defense, where the doctoral student presents and answers critical questions about their research. All thesis defenses are open – to both researchers and the public. Find information about upcoming thesis defenses here.
