About LESS

Read more about the association, how it was founded and how it functions today!

Our Story

Lunds Extremsportarsällskap was founded in 2009 by a group of happy friends with a common interest in sports of the more extreme kind. Fortunately these friends were not alone in their quest of the adrenaline that follows snowboarding in powder or kitesurfing a stormy day. LESS is a ran affiliated association of Akademiska Föreningen (AF) for students who practise not only snowboarding and kitesurfing, but all kinds of extreme sports. And if there is something we have not yet tried, we are very keen to do so! The aim is to encourage extreme sports in Lund by bringing like minded people together who are interested in learning from each other and the culture.

 

Does this sound at all interesting to you, join us and become a member of LESS today!  And don’t forget: LESS is MORE!

The organization

LESS consists of a board of 10 people. Within the board there are internal roles such as: chairman of the board, vice chairman/member correspondent, treasurer, social media and the heads of our committees (4). The board is elected once per year at our annual meetings. From VT25 the annual meeting is being held in May. 

​

Except for the board, LESS is organized by 4 different committees (surf, ski, climbing and outdoor). Each committee is made up out of 10-15 people who are responsible for planning and realizing different events. A few times per year (usually around the start of the semester) it is announced in LESS members facebook group that the committees are recruiting new members and you can then apply to join them. If you are really keen on joining a committee in between, contact us and we will see if there are any open positions!

The location

LESS is based in Lund - one of Sweden's most popular student cities. The association is run by and made for people studying at Lund University, which is ranked among the top 100 universities in the world.

 

Lund is located in the south of Sweden, only 15 minutes away from Malmö, Sweden's third-largest city, and 50 minutes from the centre of Copenhagen. At the same time, beautiful and varied nature is also close by. With 47 000 students making up almost half of the town’s population, it is known for its active and unique student life. It is considered by many to be the best student city in Sweden! Read more about studying in Lund here.
