Jönköping University was founded in 1994

Welcome to a staff party to celebrate JU 30 years!

In 1994, Jönköping University (JU) became a independent foundation university. Now, 30 years of education and research have passed, and JU is today a respected international institution. We want to celebrate this with a simple and enjoyable party together with our students and, above all, all employees — for the first time in five years!

We will start with a gathering at each respective school/company and then come together at Campus Arena. We will be both indoors and outdoors, so dress according to the weather. Since we will be walking a bit, we recommend sneakers over high heels. But since all students will be wearing colorful overalls, the dress code can be colorful!

Bring a charged mobile phone. The evening will end at Akademien and a cordoned-off part of Tändsticksområdet. As this is the evening before the big student festival, only about 1,200 students are expected to be present.

Register no later than Monday 19 August via the link below, where you can also indicate any allergies.
