Get involved!
AF consists of 12 committees, involved in all sorts of activities ranging from costume-rentals to radio, poetry and theater. The majority of the committee operations take place in the fortress-like castle “AF-borgen” itself, situated in the heart of Lundagård. Apart from these committees, there are approximately 20 additional recognized student associations as well as a bunch of cooperation-associations to work with. Such associations are independent from AF but are involved in a vast amount of operations, including diversity and politics, spex and extreme sports. As a member of AF you can get involved in any of these committees, associations and activities.
Information about membership:
Student
Everyone who wants to take part in or support the Academic Society’s (AF) operations can be members in AF! You will become a member of AF by joining Studentlund. As a member in Studentlund you automatically become a member of the Academic Society. At the same time, you also become a member of a student union and nation and get full access to all of Studentlund’s study related and social activities.
As a member of AF you will, among other things, be able to:
Get involved in AF’s various committees and associations
Rent Studentgården in Skanör
Stand in AF Bostäders housing queue
Discounts on stage events in AF-borgen
Discount on a subscription of Ordkonst
In addition to this, the Academic Society subsidizes the rent in AF-borgen for students and student organizations in order to promote Lund’s students and members of Studentlund. 62 percent of member revenues (via Studentlund and support members) are allocated to Ynglingaborgens conservation fund. Thus, the majority of the membership fee you pay actually goes directly back to you and to the events you attend in AF-Borgen.
The subsidies are divided into four categories:
Party subsidies, which include, for example balls, formals and novischsittningar
Stage-package, for when spex and theaters have shows on any of the AF-borgen stages
Seminars and meeting, which also includes job fairs
Permanent subsidies for offices and other facilities.
For more information about renting AF-borgen, contact the booking secretary, Caroline, at bokning@afborgen.se.
