About us
Nærvara is a community where science meets human presence.
We bring together researchers, healthcare professionals, people with lived experience, and anyone curious to explore health, wellbeing, and the challenges of modern life through meaningful conversations.
Our events combine accessible science, personal stories, and open discussions in a welcoming and respectful environment. Whether you come to learn, reflect, share your own experiences, or listen, you're warmly welcome.
Topics may include chronic illness, mental health, stress, sleep, women's health, cancer, healthy ageing, nutrition, and other areas where science and human experience intersect.
No prior knowledge is needed - only curiosity and respect for others.
We look forward to welcoming you to Nærvara.
Featured event

Living with Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn's Disease: Beyond the Diagnosis
Living with a chronic illness is about much more than symptoms and treatments. It also shapes how we experience work, relationships, identity, and everyday life.
Join us for the first Nærvara event - an evening where science meets human presence.
Hosted by a scientist living with Ulcerative Colitis, this event combines a personal story with an accessible introduction to the science behind inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including recent advances in research.
Together, we'll explore not only the biology of Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn's disease, but also the human experience behind the diagnosis.
The evening concludes with an open conversation where you're welcome to ask questions, share your experiences, or simply listen.
Whether you live with IBD, support someone who does, work in healthcare or research, or are simply curious to learn more, you are warmly welcome.
