The Swedish National Union of Students, SFS, has awarded the Student City of the Year award since 1999. The award is given to a city that actively works to promote students' situation and living.
Part of the purpose is to highlight good examples of what the city does to improve for students' situation, and thus inspire other cities to become Student City of the Year. The winner of the Student City of the Year award is also expected to organize the SFS council in 2023.
Application
Applications for Student City of the Year are made by (at least) a student union together with the municipality at the university. If you also want to include several parties, such as the university, another part of the public sector or the business community, they are welcome to apply.
