Exhibit of contributions to the Medical Association's writing contest

Come and enjoy the contributions to the first annual writing contest hosted by the KI Medical Association’s Cultural Committee. All KI students were invited to contribute and submissions were written in both English and Swedish. In the fall of 2025, students wrote on the topic of ”the first time.” In the spring, they wrote about ”love.” A reception was held 19 March at the Cell. 

The exhibit can be visited until 7 June at Torget in the University Library, Solna.

Read, enjoy and feel inspired. Perhaps you would like to participate next year?
