At Campus Solna
SciLifeLab’s Stockholm site is mainly located in the buildings Alfa and Gamma at Campus Solna, just outside Stockholm city in the Hagastaden district. Karolinska Institutet and Karolinska University Hospital are located nearby, as well as several governmental agencies, institutes, and businesses connected to education and research within medicine and health.
The SciLifeLab buildings comprise around 15 000 square meters of lab and office space; and host about 900 researchers, staff scientists, and other personnel from our Stockholm-based host universities (Karolinska Institutet, KTH Royal Institute of Technology and Stockholm University). By bringing people together across traditional university-, faculty- and department boundaries, SciLifeLab Campus Solna creates many opportunities for networking and initiating joint projects.

If you are a short-term guest – perhaps a visiting researcher or an external visitor – you are welcome to use a short-term access card. To book the card, your host emails Site Support on service@scilifelab.se and provides your name, affiliation, phone number and period of stay (a maximum of two weeks). You can then pick up the card in the reception (note that a deposit is required).
