SciLifeLab Campus Solna Science Talks 2024
September 12 @ 09:00 – 17:00 CEST
We would like to warmly welcome you to take part in this year’s Campus Solna Science Talks symposium on September 12th – a meeting for everyone in the community to learn more about ongoing research and activities at SciLifeLab’s Campus Solna, which aims to bring the community together, inspire exchange and new collaborations.
Research presentations will be given by group leaders and junior researchers (selected with consideration for balance in topics, presenters’ career stages, and affiliations) as part of four plenary sessions that will be mixed with poster sessions, panel discussions and a few surprises.
We invite all Campus Solna research groups to be represented with at least 1 poster (and maximum 3). Furthermore, we want to encourage all infrastructure units, support functions (IT, OO, Site support) and committees (DEI, Public Engagement, CSI and the PhD&Postdoc Council) to partake with posters!

Break activities
| Room | Organiser | Description |
| Future | Coaching in Science Initiative | Relax and Recharge – Guided Meditation Sessions with the Coaching in Science Initiative Warmly welcome to visit the Coaching in Science Initiative (CSI). Here, we will provide a break and an opportunity to relax. Join us for a guided meditation, body scan with nature sounds, and other relaxation techniques. In the future, we are exploring arranging weekly such events at SciLifeLab in Solna. |
| Creative | PhD and postdoc council at Campus Solna | From SciLifeLab for SciLifeLab Meet and discuss with the members of the PhD and postdoc council about ongoing initiatives, challenges at Campus Solna and your ideas for a better community! |
| Evolution | SciLifeLab Events and Communication | Showcasing the Beauty of Science – Art at Campus Solna At SciLifeLab’s Solna campus, we’re discovering that science and art aren’t as different as they might seem. Our researchers, who are dedicated to advancing knowledge, often create stunning visual art through their scientific work. These images, rooted in research, showcase the inherent beauty in scientific discovery |
