Lund's Natural Science Union
Lund's Natural Science Union, LUNA, is the student union for all students at the Faculty of Science. If you study astronomy, biology, physics, geology, chemistry, mathematics, environmental science, molecular biology, physical geography and ecosystem science, medical radiation physics or theoretical physics, you become a member of LUNA when you become a member of Studentlund.
LUNA's primary task is to protect the interests of students and ensure that the science education in Lund improves. That is why we have student representatives in all decision-making bodies at the faculty and the eight departments, such as boards and education committees. At departmental level, our student councils are responsible for electing student representatives. The student councils are also the democratic foundation of the union; all science students are welcome to their student council meetings to express their opinions about education. Furthermore, the student councils have social activities and are a good place if you want to get to know more students at your department.
In addition to education monitoring, the union hosts social activities and provides contact with companies relevant to our students. The Mentor Committee (FU) organizes a novisch period for new students at the beginning of each autumn semester and a smaller one in the spring, which is the perfect introduction to student life in Lund. During the semester, the Party Committee and the Sports Committee arrange various types of festive and fun events. If that doesn't appeal to you, you can take the opportunity to work on issues you are passionate about in the Gender and Equality Committee (JoL) or the Education Committee (UU). The Corporate Relations Committee (CRC) offers opportunities for contact with companies through lectures and seminars with potential future employers, alumni and researchers.
The Union is led by a board that includes the Union's President, Vice President and Head of Corporate Relations who work full-time for the Union during one fiscal year.
