Since 2017, eight symposia have been held at the Engelsberg Ironworks – a unique UNESCO World Heritage site built in the 17th century. In this beautiful setting, the invited participants have contributed to thoughtful and enlightening discussions about current advancements in life science, technology and healthcare. The presentations and discussions from each symposium are summarised in a report.

The Future of Life Science was initiated by Stockholm Science City Foundation together with the Axel and Margaret Ax:son Johnson Foundation with the aim to raise relevant questions and trigger discussions among experts, academics, public officials, and private companies. At the symposium, we explore significant scientific developments in different fields of life science and consider their wider implications for society, healthcare systems, and individuals.
