We would like to invite you to the course “Vaccine to Vaccination: from Science to Society”, organized together with the International Vaccine Institute .

Established in 2000, IVI’s International Vaccinology Course (IVC) is one of the longest-running vaccinology courses in Asia, and since 2023 it has been run in collaboration with the Karolinska Institute. This year we count with a third location in Kigali, Rwanda adding to our collective goal of providing a global perspective on the impact of vaccine development.

Through lectures from renown international experts, quizzes and case studies the attendants will learn the basics of vaccinology and the process of creating vaccines: how they are developed, tested, regulated, and approved.

The course will run 2-6 September 2024 and will take place at ANA Futura on campus Huddinge (Stockholm Area). Lectures will be given at the three locations (Seoul, Kigali, and Stockholm) and broadcasted simultaneously. Since this course is co-organized by KI, PhD students and postdocs have a unique opportunity to participate on this international course and get a global perspective on vaccine development and its societal implications.
