UniStem Day
Welcome to the never-ending journey of stem cell research!
UniStem Day is the largest educational outreach initiative on stem cells and regenerative medicine in Europe, bringing together Universities and high school students.
UniStem Day began as a project by the University of Milan in Italy in 2009. In 2019, UniStem Day became a worldwide event spreading across four continents, involving 99 Universities in Australia, Austria, Colombia, France, Germany, Greece, Holland, Hungary, Italy, Singapore, Spain, Poland, Portugal, Sweden and the United Kingdom.
Lund University's participation in UniStem Day was initiated in 2015 by Professor Malin Parmar, hosted by the Lund Stem Cell Center, and its Research School in Stem Cell Biology. Each year, the event brings together scientists and students from across Lund Stem Cell Center and the Faculty of Medicine at Lund University with high school students from all over Skåne, Sweden.
During UniStem Day, researchers from Lund Stem Cell Center showcase cutting edge research, provide insights into their daily work, and explain the mechanisms behind scientific breakthroughs by offering lessons, group discussions, hands-on workshops, and visits inside their laboratories. The event, which is all about stem cell science, is an opportunity to foster learning, discovery and debate in the field of stem cell research, representing a way to inspire and stimulate the younger generation’s curiosity and interest in science.
