As a student, you are insured through Kammarkollegiet’s (Swedish Legal, Financial and Administrative Services Agency) injury insurance during school hours and while travelling directly between home and the university. Injuries caused by accidents and, in some cases, through illness caused by infection, are covered by the insurance.

Remember to take out a leisure and home insurance to make sure you have comprehensive coverage.

The insurance applies to students and postgrads at public universities. It is the equivalent of the Swedish occupational injury insurance’s accident cover. Injury insurance for students is valid in Sweden and covers accidents during school hours and for travel between home and the location of your studies.

In 2011, the Vice-Chancellor ensured that an additional strategic investment of SEK 2 million was allocated to the university's Student Activities Fun. The funds must be used over a 5-10 year period with the purpose of promoting the social environment at the university in order to increase student satisfaction and their study results.

The Fund's Board of Directors consists of the President, Head of Student Services and the Chairman of both student unions. The Board meets once per semester and decides on the allocation of the funds. The deadline for applications to the various meetings are October 15th and April 15th.

Consider the following when applying:

• It should be clear for what purpose funding is requested. A cost estimate and a short presentation of the organization seeking funding must be attached to the application.
• Applications for grants from the fund are to be delivered to Luleå University of Technology's main registrar.

• The Board decides on the contributions of one year, which means that the funds granted for one year does not automatically granted the following year.
• If the priority needed to be given priority to applications that will most benefit the students.

Some examples of successful applications:
