In our first event of the year, we will start with a friendly Information Seminar, which we will provide further information on the department, the different student services and the UTN. We'll also give you a brief introduction about student life in Uppsala. You can ask questions to senior students and meet with new friends! Information seminar will be followed by a very Swedish tradition, fika, where you can enjoy kanelbulle and coffee! (Vegan options included!) Then we will leave for a Kubb Game outside - a Swedish game that we can all play together and no worries if you have no idea how to play it because we will be there!
Looking forward to seeing you in our very first event!
Cheers!

2019-09-15 City Rally
14:00 at Gotlands parken, city centre
The date has been changed from Saturday the 14th to Sunday the 15th of September!
We've organized an exciting city rally for you. Prepare for a scavenger hunt along some of Uppsala's most famous spots. An excellent way to explore the city and make new friends. Meet up at the starting point with your team, or build a team on the spot. Registeration ahead of time is compulsary, since we have a limited amount of places. Fill in the registration form here to sign up.
2019-09-27 Gasque
18:30 at Pharmen building
A gasque is a traditional Swedish event, with signing, drinks and great food. A stay in Sweden is not complete without one of these extensive dinners. Our biggest event! We offer food either with meat (beef, non-halal) or with a vegan alternative. In case you suffer from any allergy, or have other dietary restrictions, we will take this into account.
The gasque ends around 11PM, but is followed by an afterparty until 1AM.
