On June 2, 2025, the Nordic Society of Human Genetics and Precision Medicine (NSHG-PM) will host its annual symposium in Copenhagen, Denmark. The event will take place at the University of Copenhagen’s Mærsk Tower and will focus on the latest opportunities in artificial intelligence (AI) in Nordic healthcare.

The symposium, which is free and open to everyone, will start at 13:00 and last until 17:30. Among the keynote speakers are Sir Rory Collins, PI/CEO of UK Biobank, and leading Nordic researchers who will discuss precision medicine and other current topics. Following the symposium, there will be a reception and poster session.

On June 3, from 13:00 to 14:00, Unnur Valdimarsdóttir from the University of Iceland and Karolinska Institutet will give a special lecture on the COVIDMENT and covidmentYOUNG projects. These projects, funded by NordForsk, use multimodal data to study COVID-19 and mental health among over 550,000 Nordics and other Europeans.

Additionally, a data visualization workshop will be held on June 1 and 2, led by the innovative scientist-turned-illustrator Cara Thompsen. The workshop, titled “Building Stories with Data,” will provide participants with tips on how to create clear and captivating figures to communicate their work. Spaces are limited, so early registration is recommended. NSHG-PM members receive a discount.

Registration is now open, and the deadline for abstract submission is May 20. To qualify for possible short talks or travel fellowships, abstracts must be submitted by Sunday, May 4, at 23:59 GMT.
