On September 2, we held a kick-off for the Doctoral School in Health Sciences (FiH) with 14 doctoral students, including eight from NVS and the rest from six other departments.

Supervisors and the new cohort of doctoral students participated in the morning session. In the afternoon, the previous cohort (2023) joined and collaborated with the new cohort. There are many interesting projects employing various methodologies, which we believe will enrich their doctoral education. You can read a brief summary of the projects here: Doctoral Projects HK25 | Karolinska Institutet.

The first doctoral course within FiH, “Health Science and Implementation – Conceptual Grounds”, started this week with Kay Sundberg as course coordinator.
