14.05.2010 Sweden will build a SciLifeLab. It was founded through a joint effort by the three Stockholm universities, Royal Institute of Technology, Karolinska Institutet and Stockholm University and its main activities will be housed in newly built premises in the vicinity of Karolinska Institutet and Karolinska University Hospital in Solna.

Sweden decided to focus its efforts in one institute in stead of spreading its funds over several initatives. this strategy is used to match competition from other  countries
