3rd ATMP Mini‑Symposium: Lund 2026
Join ATMP leaders from across Sweden as the 3rd ATMP Mini‑Symposium comes to Lund for the first time. This half‑day event offers a fast‑paced program of scientific talks, industry perspectives, and networking opportunities — an ideal forum for anyone working with or curious about emerging cell and gene therapies.
About the Event
We are pleased to welcome the 3rd ATMP Mini‑Symposium to Lund, following two highly successful editions at Karolinska Institutet and Uppsala University that drew more than 170 and 90 participants respectively. This year the event comes to southern Sweden, bringing together the national Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMP) community for an afternoon of scientific exchange, networking, and collaboration.
The symposium is organized by CCRM Nordic in partnership with Lund Stem Cell Center, the Lund University Pre‑GMP Facility, and the Strategic Research Area for Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine (StemTherapy) — including both the Lund University and Uppsala University nodes.
Designed as an open and welcoming forum, the event invites researchers, industry professionals, clinicians, students, and others interested in ATMPs to join a half‑day program featuring 12 invited speakers from academia, hospitals, and industry.
