Our Committees

Are you interested in gaining firsthand experience of what it means to be involved in an association? Join our various committees to help Board members with their work and learn more about the tasks! Who knows, maybe you will become the future Head!


The release of positions for every Committee varies every year – so don’t hesitate to reach out and show interest!


Programme Committee

The main concern of the Programme Committee is to plan and organise the upcoming lectures and, thus, the backbone of UPF’s work. Furthermore, our Head of Programme actively encourages you, as a Committee member, to arrange your own lectures and take greater responsibility for UpF’s “core” work. Debates, seminars, and panel discussions are great examples of what your work might entail.

If you want to learn more about the Committee’s work, feel free to contact our Head of Programme!


Activities Committee

Our Activities Committee arranges social events and more informal meetings – a chill barbecue or Politik & Pilsner – for discussing political issues. You can be part of arranging everything from a social gathering in the evening, field-trips to local organizations, documentary nights, seminars and/or workshops. It is a good way to meet new people and expand your social network.

Travel Committee

Every semester, UPF Umeå arranges a trip for its members to a country with a lively political and cultural social life. In the Travel Committee, you will have the chance to decide on where to go and why, what field-trips to make, and what organisations, embassies or companies to visit. You will be part of planning the trip and arranging activities and meetings for our members before departure.

Editorial Committee

This is the committee which is actively working on our magazine UTPOST, which is published every term. You can write articles by yourself and/or help in designing the magazines outline. If you are a student, it is a great achievement to be published in this magazine read by all of our members and the public.
