11 Conclusion KI is doing fine as a research institute, but we are far from being in the international lead in terms of how our publications are viewed by the scientific community

12 Strategy 2018 COLLABORATION EMPLOYEES INFRASTRUCTURE FUNDING we want the most qualified for a modernised KI based on joint strategies to finance our investments

13 Opportunities with a large research environment such as Biomedicum Promotes cross-disciplinary research Shared technical infrastructure Efficient use of precious space Possibilities for reinforced administrative support Attractive for recruitments Excellent case for fundraising Enables departmental growth Facilitates establishment of a much-needed large unit for comparative medicine attaining the higher international standards required in the near future

14 Challenges with a large research environment such as Biomedicum Integration Competition for admission to the new environment Allocation of individual groups Perturbations relating to planning, move and re-establishment Costs and distribution of costs Departmental culture clashes

15 Contribution of Biomedicum to Karolinska Institutet s future scientific development Hans-Gustaf Ljunggren, Dean of Research

16 The contribution of Biomedicum to KI s future scientific development

17 The creation of Biomedicum represents a milestone in KI s history 1810 Founded and initially housed in the Royal Bakery at Riddarholmen 1866 Norr Mälarstrand, Kungsholmen 1940 Solna, close to the new Karolinska Hospital 1972 Huddinge Hospital 1982 Novum Research Center, Huddinge 1993 KI93, 150 departments becomes < Aula Medica, Sci Life Lab on the Solna Campus 2018 Biomedicum, new Karolinska University Hospital in Solna, new and renovated research buildings at KI s growing Huddinge Campus

18 The creation of Biomedicum offers enormous opportunities for high quality ground breaking biomedical research

19 The creation of Biomedicum offers enormous opportunities for high quality ground breaking research rationale? Global trend towards larger research infrastructures from an original one house-one subject-one professor -strategy, to fused departments, to large research complexes Allows a mix of a large number of scientists in new creative atmospheres using common facilities and support functions for research Allows more effective use of space

20 The creation of Biomedicum offers enormous opportunities for high quality ground breaking research rationale? Allows strategic locations of individual research groups, clustering around specific subject areas Allows the establishment of larger research infrastructures core facilities Allows more effective, partly centralized, administrative service functions

21 The creation of Biomedicum offers enormous opportunities for high quality ground breaking research rationale? Forms a fantastic platform for recruitment Forms a unique platform for common grant applications Forms a unique platform for fundraising

22 The creation of Biomedicum offers enormous opportunities for high quality ground breaking research rationale? Allows comparisons and co-development with other similar research structures globally

23 The creation of Biomedicum offers enormous opportunities for high quality ground breaking research will it be easy? It will represent a challenge for all involved as it is often when you create history It will involve lots of planning, challenges in moving people, animals, labs, core-facilities etc. It will involve lots of work setting up new functions, new routines, getting established etc.

24 The creation of Biomedicum offers enormous opportunities for high quality ground breaking research will it be easy? But it will be challenging, exciting, opportunities for meeting new people, making new friends and colleagues, and for development For certain, there are many of us at other KI who would have liked to be in your place And, big moves have occurred in the past in the KI history!

25 In parallel with the development of Biomedicum the whole area around the KI Solna Campus will undergo a major transformation in the coming 10 years

26 Our vision of Biomedicum Sandra Ceccatelli, Professor and Chair Dept. of Neuroscience

27 KI s laboratory for the future KI s laboratory for the future OUR VISION OF BIOMEDICUM

28 Biomedicum: KI s laboratory for the future Experimental researchers who today are scattered across the Campus Solna will gather under the same roof with access to ultra-modern laboratories and shared infrastructure.

29 Biomedicum Facts 11 floors 26 lab-quarters ( kvm each) with capacity for 50 persons 1600 persons Skyways to NKS, KM-B and (Wargentin, TBD)

30 FyFa New opportunities and new challenges Neuro MBB MTC CMB

31 Biomedicum Placement in the quarters by research area Space allocation based on vicinity to core facilities, specific infrastructure and collaborators Aula

32 Our goals To provide our scientists with a world-class environment for biomedical research. To promote a new vision on how medical research should be conducted and create the foundation for inter-disciplinary research within the areas of interest of the five departments. To be an innovative platform for recruitment of young and senior elite researchers. To reinforce and improve clinical interactions.
