A warm thank you for joining the after work on 1 December at Södra teatern! Those of you who could not be there can get a glimpse in the news article on the Staff Portal.

Decision on INDI for 2024

MedH's research INDI (21,53%) will be used for both BioNut and MedH from 1 January 2024. The costs for lower research INDI for BioNut of 3% will be covered by central funds (omställningskostnader). 

MedH's education INDI (1% lower than BioNut's) will be used for both BioNut and MedH. The costs for lower education INDI for BioNut of 1% will also be covered by central funds (omställningskostnader).

The basis for these decisions by the KI leadership has been prepared by the project's task force group for finance. 

MedH administration to move in April 2024

In April 2024 the MedH administration will move from the hospital premises to floor 8 in Neo together with BioNut administration to be closer to the core operations (kärnverksamheten). Remodelling costs (ombyggnadskostnader) and one year rent will be covered by central funds (omställningskostnader).
