Nobel conferences at Karolinska Institutet

The conferences started in 1979 and so far funds have been granted for around 70 conferences; for previous Nobel conferences see www.nobelprizemedicine.org.

Mini-symposia in the "Frontiers in Medicine" series

Mini-symposia must be held in the Nobel Forum, should last one day and be open to free participation. They must deal with current topics that bridge preclinical and clinical subject areas. The program should include some invited foreign lecturers, but also active participation by researchers at Karolinska Institutet. A maximum of SEK 250,000 per Minisymposium is currently allocated.
