SFS is an association of student unions at Swedish universities and colleges. SFS has sixty-two member unions, representing over
400,000 students and doctoral students.

SFS represents students with different backgrounds and from different educations, which is why SFS has a unique opportunity to speak for the student group as a whole. This means that SFS is considered an important conversation partner for decision-makers who decide on issues related to higher education and students, such as the Riksdag and the government.
