Research

Research at the center is performed at both Linköping University and Östergötland County Council, creating a unique environment where clinicians, teachers, incident management staff and researchers collaborate. The center brings together multiple scientific disciplines in a cross-disciplinary mission to expand knowledge in disaster medicine and traumatology.

Below we present ongoing projects at KMC, organised by Research Focus Areas and Themes. Read more via the project links or by following the Research Focus Area links.
