The 11th edition of Science Today will explore the theme of risks. Join us to hear two PhD students and a postdoc present their research and discuss the issues in a conversation led by Olof Somell from the Nobel Prize Museum.

Science Today is a recurring afterwork kickstarting the brain and the weekend with the most exciting research of the day and some of Stockholm’s best DJs. Science Today invites PhD students and postdocs from Karolinska Institutet (KI), the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) and Stockholm University (SU) to present their research. 

Science often leads to unexpected results. As researchers explore new fields, they encounter unknown risks and must anticipate unintended consequences. 

In addition to that, some scientists may need to work in dangerous fields, employing meticulous safety protocols and innovative technologies to manage these hazards. The legacy of Alfred Nobel, who revolutionized the use of nitroglycerin by inventing dynamite, exemplifies the balance between risks and innovation.  

This time Science Today will take place at the Mannheimer Swartling Auditorium. The law firm Mannheimer Swartling is one of the museum’s main partners and offers full-service counsel in business law.
