SciLifeLab Night Science Workshop
November 6, 2026 @ 09:00 – 17:00 CET
Welcome to a full-day workshop on the Creative Process of Science!
The Night Science Workshop teaches the dichotomy of the scientific process: Day Science, the rigorous testing of ideas with empirical data; and Night Science, the creative scientific process. The program will introduce you to a repertoire of creative thinking tools, helping you to explore new ways of approaching scientific questions, generating ideas, and navigating research challenges.
Following years of inspirational work by the Night Science Institute, and with thanks to CEO Dr Oliver Bogler, SciLifeLab Campus Solna is delighted to sponsor its first Night Science Workshop, an on-site event 9:00–17:00 Friday 6 November.
Space is limited, so please register only if you can attend the full day. Lunch and coffee will be included. SciLifeLab scientists at all levels are welcome. Registrants exceeding capacity will be placed on wait list, with priority given to SciLifeLab community members; please notify the organizers as early as possible of any cancellations, so that your place may be given to another participant.
Register by Friday 30 October to ensure your place. We look forward to seeing you there!
This event is co-sponsored by Campus Solna, the Coaching in Science Institute (CSI) and Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at SciLifeLab (DEIS).
