Here you will find all information and updates about the program for the freshers-week, who we in the board are, how you can contact us, and how you can become a participant in the freshers-week.

The freshers-week is a social program for new students. You are put in a group with mentors (faddere) and can participate in a range of (free) activities from Monday 12th of august to Saturday 18th of august. The fresher-activities do not offer any “professional help” regarding courses etc.
