Conferences and symposiums KI Culture Day 2022 - Pro-Creation in Art and Science
The KI Culture Day is the annual celebration of the fertile link between medical science and culture. It is a unique combination offering popular science and cultural entertainment, including talents studying/working at KI, science at KI, as well as invited guests. The venue is the Medical Students’ Union (MF). We also offer live internet streaming.
This year the main theme is not exactly about sex, but rather about sperm, eggs and their microenvironments – as well as about scientists at KI who express themselves through the arts. There will be an art exhibition with representative objects. The role of culture and arts at a university will be discussed on stage, inspired by the success of the Arts Project at the Stockholm School of Economics.
