SciLifeLab Strategy
As the national research infrastructure for molecular life sciences in Sweden, SciLifeLab has a unique opportunity and mandate to promote biology-, technology- and data-driven excellence in life science and its implementation in health care, environment, industry and other sectors of society.
In 2019, following a national stakeholder hearing and with input from the life science community, SciLifeLab published a roadmap for the years 2020-2030. Many of the goals originally envisioned have either been reached or are well underway. In addition, many other unforeseen developments have taken place, such as a global pandemic and an AI revolution, and SciLifeLab’s role has evolved, and the strategy needs to be revised.
Vision & Mission
The SciLifeLab vision is for Sweden to be a world-leading nation in life science.
The overall mission for SciLifeLab is to enable life science research in Sweden that is beyond what is possible for an individual researcher, an individual university, or an individual research discipline.
Strategic objectives
Through five interrelated objectives (presented below), SciLifeLab will work towards synergistic benefits for life science both in Sweden and globally. SciLifeLab mission to maintain and advance the national research infrastructure and services, are foundational to all other objectives. This infrastructure supports strong research and communities, while new discoveries and innovations enhance it in a reciprocal cycle.
As Sweden’s National Infrastructure for Molecular Life Sciences, SciLifeLab aims to:
- Develop and provide excellent life science infrastructure.
- Strengthen scientific communities, capabilities, and international collaborations.
- Transform life science data into knowledge.
- Attract and foster scientific excellence and provide advanced training.
- Support innovation and bridge-building for the benefit of society.
