> the Karolinska Institutet

The 't' at the end of 'Institutet' is the article, so you can write 'Karolinska Institutet' or 'the Karolinska Institute'.

Its name is "Karolinska Institutet", so you can't reasonably translate it to "the Karolinska Institute", because at that point the first part if its name is just an untranslated adjective. And if you arrive at "the Carolean Institute" people no longer understand what you're referring to.

Sorry for furthering the pedantry.
