About SALSS Science4Peace
The former big pharma executive and Wall Street analyst, Barbro Ehnbom, founded the Swedish-American Life Science Summit (SALSS) 20 years ago and the conference has since then become a beloved annual tradition. Last year’s edition was supposed to be the last but with the unprecedented war in Ukraine Barbro Ehnbom felt the urge to do something.
“The pandemic made us aware of how important health and medicine is for individuals and society, and that it also impacts geopolitics and industry. Now is the time to come together to show the level of knowledge we have reached and how to bring it into the future of healthcare,” says Ehnbom.
The 2022 SALSS SCIENCE4PEACE is a special edition of the classic SALSS format to explore the connection between Science and Peace with the long-term mission of welcoming our fellow Ukrainian colleagues into the European and American Life Science Community.
