Seminar programs and programs on other stages
During the Book Fair, you can also listen to several seminar program items where researchers and lecturers from universities take part.

To take part in the seminar program, you need a seminar card, which you can buy on the Book Fair's website.

On the exhibition floor there are several stages with different orientations. Universities are represented and participate in several of these scenes. If you are interested in listening to researchers from universities, we recommend that you go to Yttrandefrihetsscenen or Forskartorget.
