Guidelines for events held at LUSEM

Organising a meeting, conference or convention involves a lot of work – before, during and after the event. Here you will learn more about important things to consider about the process and what help you can get when you arrange an event at the School.

Plan a sustainable event!

Lund University is working towards being a more sustainable workingplace. This also include sustainable thinking when it comes to planning and hosting events. A sustainable event or meeting that is environmental friendly gives good signals and makes a statement to both guests, colleagues and suppliers. Sustainable aspects includes choosing food and beverages carefully, no use of plastic package and avoiding excessive amounts. Learn more at the page Environmentally friendly at work.

All facilities must be booked in advance

All rooms and facilities that will be used during your event must be booked in advance.

Keep in mind that the premises are used for scheduled classes and extracurricular activities. It can be difficult to separate your activity from others.

You may serve food and drinks in “Blå Hallen” in EC3 (the blue hall), which also must be booked. “Blå Hallen” is available after 16:00 during weekdays. It is not possible to organise seated lunch in the EC1 Atrium during daytime.

Communication and graphic profile

Lund University has a high reputation both in Sweden and internationally. The highest quality is required to maintain and reinforce this position – not only in what we do but also in how all university employees communicate what we do. The graphic profile is an important tool in this communication work.

To support you in your work, there is a graphics manual which describes our graphic profile and explains how it is structured. We recommend that you use the Lund University printing office Media-Tryck to help you with the layout. Media-Tryck can produce and print your material at a low cost.

Always show your material to the LUSEM communications officers before Media-Tryck prints it, and remember to always use the LUSEM logotype when promoting events held at the School!

To be able to order from Media-Tryck you must have access to a Lupin account.

Examples of printed or digital products can be:

• Folders
• Invitations
• Nametags
• Posters
• PowerPoints
• Programmes

Cleaning

Our cleaning staff are in place 06:00-15:00 during weekdays. Extra cleaning within their working hours must be planned in advance. Expect costs for extra cleaning both before – and especially after – an event. You are responsible for bringing back leftover material when your event is over. 

Contact: Jörgen Norén

Ventilation

Does your event take place at night or over a weekend? Remember to inform us about this so the ventilation is on during your event. 

Contact: Jörgen Norén or the janitors at LUSEM

Food

The University’s agreements are binding and must be followed. Our catering suppliers can be found in Lupin under the agreement area "catering". You are responsible for cleaning away all food and table settings when the event is over.

Log-in to Lupin

Additional student workers/student marshals

For large conferences, you may need extra assistance by student marshals, for example to manage the check-in, man the cloakroom, answer questions or hand out "goodie bags".

The salary for the student workers is currently 125 SEK per hour. Contact Jeanette Ströberg for the correct version of the form “Lön och villkor för intermittent tidsbegränsad anställning med timlön (periodisk)”.

It is a good idea to let the student workers have a dress code (for example, black bottoms, white top and comfortable shoes, as they often stand and walk a lot).

Spread the word!

Do not forget to spread the word about your event!

Tell the reception desk in EC1 about the event so that they can provide information about what is happening in the school premises.

You can use these channels to spread the word:

• E-mail (within your own network)
• Social Media
• Calendar on lu.se
• Calendar on the department’s website

You may also contact the LUSEM communications officers who have access to communication channels.
