The Karolinska Institutet has announced the opening of abstract submissions for its upcoming Educational Congress 2026, set to take place in Stockholm on October 7-8, 2026. This event serves as a vital platform for professionals engaged in medical education research and health professions education across the Nordic region.
Organized by the unit for teaching and learning on behalf of the Committee for Higher Education and the Committee for Doctoral Education, the congress aims to foster collaboration and knowledge sharing among educators, researchers, and stakeholders in the field.
Abstract Submission Details
This year’s congress will feature two distinct tracks for abstract submission. One track invites educators to share best practices in teaching, while the second track focuses on research in health professions education. This dual approach encourages a comprehensive exchange of ideas and innovations within the educational community.
The call for research abstracts is particularly significant, as it offers researchers an opportunity to present their findings and contributions to the field. Participants are encouraged to submit their abstracts, showcasing their work and its impact on educational practices.
Registration for the congress will open on March 15, 2026. Interested individuals can access further details and updates about the preliminary program later this spring.
Keynote Speaker Announcement
A highlight of the congress will be the keynote address delivered by this year’s KIPRIME winner, an accolade recognizing outstanding contributions to medical education research. The recipient of this prestigious award will be announced in August 2026, adding to the excitement surrounding the event.
The Karolinska Institutet Educational Congress is more than just a conference; it is a gathering of passionate educators and researchers dedicated to advancing the future of medical education. By providing a space for dialogue and collaboration, the congress aims to enhance the quality of education and training in health professions across the region.
