MedS Day 2022
This year's MedS Day, held on October 17, gave employees and affiliates a long-awaited opportunity to meet and take part in the department’s ongoing activities.
The purpose of the annual MedS Day conference is to create a meeting place for employees and affiliated to the Department of Medicine, Solna. The day provides an opportunity to meet each, share experiences and to get information about what is going on at the department.
The day began with a visit by vice-chancellor Anders Gustavsson, who talked about KI's future. The rest of the day was devoted to presentations and discussions about ongoing and planned research- and development projects, as well as a visit by Research and Innovation Director for Region Stockholm, Clara Hellner, and Urban Lendahl, Integration Director at the SciLifelab. Karin Loré's quiz "MedS – the real deal" was also an appreciated part of the break.
During the day, everyone could take part in the poster exhibition and the best posters were voted for by the participants. First prize went to research group Marie Wahren Herlenius.
The next MedS Day is planned for autumn 2023.
