Studentafton is Scandinavia's leading politically and religiously independent forum for speech and debate[1] and is a part of the Academic Society at Lund University. The Academic Society is a non-profit organization of students and teachers at Lund University. The Academic Society, established in 1830,[2] hosts many cultural and social activities in Lund. These include lectures, theatrical performances, public debates and musical entertainment.
Studentafton (lit. "student evening") features politicians, authors, Nobel laureate, musicians, scientists and other persons of interest to the student body in Lund. The organization's main task is to honor freedom of speech. A Studentafton can take various forms. Debates, concerts and talks are all common.
