The project Systems support for research information continues the implementation of KI RIMS and will during the summer focus on further technical development and designing user support.

KI RIMS is a system that collects data and information from several different systems used within KI. When KI RIMS is up and running, it will be easier for KI's researchers to maintain their CV and Qualifications portfolio, something that has been requested by many.

On October 4, the president of Karolinska Institutet appointed academic vice presidents and deputy chairpersons for the three committees that report to the Faculty Board: The Committee for Higher Education, the Committee for Doctoral Education and the Committee for Research.

New investments are now being implemented to strengthen Karolinska Institutet’s position as a pioneering research university. Many of these investments are aimed at more junior researchers and include the KI Research Incubator (KIRI), a virtual forum for multidisciplinary collaboration. Two other initiatives are also in the pipeline – a mentor and coaching programme and a new network to enhance the qualification prospects for female researchers and teachers.
