SciLifeLab Group Leaders at KI

Since SciLifeLab was established in 2010, the research leaders who make up the core of the SciLifeLab research environment and community have been designated as SciLifeLab Group Leaders. They are eligible for certain SciLifeLab calls and initiatives, and are included in SciLifeLab community events and the SciLifeLab Group Leader directory. Since 2024, there is an annual recurring national call for SciLifeLab Group Leaders.

SciLifeLab Group Leaders include:

  • SciLifeLab and DDLS Fellows
  • Established research group leaders
  • Directors of SciLifeLab core facilities and infrastructure platforms
