The University of Gothenburg is a partner of Frihamnsdagarna, which is held annually at the banana pier in central Gothenburg. We see Frihamnsdagarna as an important democratic meeting place and a good opportunity to collaborate and communicate the university's research to a broad public. Frihamnsdagarna is also a possible place for networking between academia, business, the city and associations.

Meet us on site

In our tent, there will be student ambassadors who will answer questions about what it is like to study at university and can give tips and advice to those of you who are curious about studying further.
