Due to Covid -19, KI Innovations organizes the second round of our seminar series Build skills to impact on a digital platform. We welcome all students, PhD students and researchers who are interested to get to know more about impact creation based on academic research or knowledge to tune into our YouTube channel to take part of the modules. 

Build skills to impact consists of six modules where we will present different ways to create impact from academic results or knowledge, beyond publications. Such journey can include everything from collaboration with industry, healthcare sector or public sector, to secure and out-license intellectual property or start a company.

The seminar series will hopefully inspire you to think of alternative ways of disseminating your research, introduce you to the support available for students and researchers at Karolinska Institutet and provide you with some useful tools and insights on how to prevent common pitfalls.

You can tune into all six modules or pick the ones most valuable to you. Read more about the modules below.
