About the Academic Society
The Academic Society, AF, is a big non-profit organization founded in year 1830. The purpose of the society is to unite students, teachers and university officials at Lund University. The activities at the Academic Society are therefore very diverse and are present in many different parts of Lund’s student life. A membership in Studentlund includes an automatic membership in AF. People who aren’t students are welcome to join as support members. Please contact the secretary of AF, Ann at ann@af.lu.se or pay Studentinfo, an information desk in the foyer of the AF building, a visit.
AF is comprised of 13 committees, which engage in everything from TV and radio to poetry and theatre. The majority of the operations of AF’s committees take place in the AF building in the middle of Lundagård. In addition to these, there are some twenty so called recognised student associations. These are independent associations which functions in a similar way to the committees and form a huge range of activities, from diversity work and politics to spex and extreme sports.
AF also has a project fund which gives financial support to new initiatives in Lund’s student life.
