Aula Medica 10 years!
Aula Medica was inaugurated in October 2013 and won the award Building of the Year 2014. Its expression is well known and associated with world-class medical research. Annually, many gatherings are held in the auditorium where the world's foremost people meet and ideas are shared and born.
On October 3rd, we want to celebrate this mighty building's tenth anniversary! All staff invited!
Block the day in your calendar and bring your colleagues to experience, among other things, a light slideshow of previous events in the Erling-Persson hall, or listen to the jazz band performing during the day, or meet the magician who might puzzle you and of course- walk the "red carpet" at the main entrance.
This day is only for KI staff, so present your KI ID at the main entrance.
I hope to see many of you at the October 3rd celebration!
