Karolinska Institutet

The Karolinska Institute is a research-driven medical university in Solna, Sweden, which is part of the Stockholm metropolitan region. The Karolinska Institute is routinely listed among the greatest medical schools in the world, with a global ranking of 6th in medicine in 2021. The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine is awarded by the Nobel Assembly at the Karolinska Institute. The assembly is made up of fifty professors from the university's several medical fields. Ole Petter Ottersen, the current rector of Karolinska Institute, was appointed in August 2017.

The Karolinska Institute was founded in 1810 on the island of Kungsholmen on Stockholm's west side; the main site was moved to Solna, just outside Stockholm, decades later. In Flemingsberg, Huddinge, south of Stockholm, a second campus was recently established.

After Uppsala University (established in 1477) and Lund University, the Karolinska Institute is Sweden's third oldest medical school (founded in 1666). It is one of Sweden's largest teaching and research centers, accounting for 30% of medical education and more than 40% of all academic medical and life science research in the country.
