The Swedish government has presented an updated strategy for life science with the aim of making Sweden a leading nation in the field. Annika Östman Wernerson, President of KI, has been a member of the advisory group behind the strategy.
“The strategy gives academia, healthcare and industry a joint vision of what Sweden needs to do to remain a leader in life science. This is a very good basis for success. Now we need to step up the pace and implement the strategy with joint efforts. Karolinska Institutet wants to be a driving force in this work,” says Annika Östman Wernerson.
- Responsible, safe and ethical policy development, including the development of precision medicine
- Integration of research and innovation in healthcare
- Research, innovation and research infrastructure
- Supply of skills
- International attractiveness and competitiveness
” The basic science research, translational environment and skills supply that universities can contribute to the life science sector and healthcare is central, which I am pleased to see reflected in the strategy,” says Annika Östman Wernerson.
