For associations
Are you on an association board?
The collaboration between the union and the associations is governed by cooperation agreements updated every year. Every month – usually towards the end – the union holds a chair forum (Ordförandetorg) that all association chairs are expected to attend; the meetings are led by the student welfare officer in each city. Grant requests go to the student welfare officer in your city, and the process is described in the association documents.
