On June 9th, our final MedH 2025 strategy was communicated. Many of you visited the strategy launch open house to look at the posters, eat cake and discuss our common future. Thank you for coming and for all input!
Two actions to reach our strategic goals are underway; one is to create a mentoring program for younger scientists at MedH. Providing a framework for career navigation is necessary. KI is a complex organization and mentoring is needed to make the right moves. This is not the least important for clinical scientists, but the program will focus on all early career researchers. Jenny Mjösberg leads this working group and will collaborate with Jesper Bäckdahl, Johanna Ungerstedt and Ying Shang.
In all surveys and in our strategy work, the importance of meetings is emphasized. Another action is to focus on platforms for scientific and social interactions. This working group is led by Niklas Björkström, also including Karolina Szummer, Christina Carlander and Niklas Mejhert. Many seminar series are already established at MedH, and they must continue and be made more visible. Additional activities such as thematic afternoons, interdisciplinary method meetings and ethical discussion groups should also be discussed.
Research integrity, open science, quality assurance and documentation are key aspects of MedH's development. Many of us are pointing in this direction. This is a trend at KI and in Sweden and MedH should lead the way.

Meetings are not only essential for research discussions but also for social interactions, which is included in this group’s task. We need to get to know each other better and talk about other things than science. This makes us use our full potential as coworkers. Additional actions will be implemented in the coming year. Closing the gap beteeen education and research and promoting activities to strengthen our work environments are next in line.
You are all needed. Let me know what you want to do to facilitate the implementation of our strategy, and I will make sure you can be involved!
