Summer Course

Right now BEST Lund is performing its most important task. The summer course. Every year, every BEST group have to have an academic course. This years course in Lund is about biotechnology and the professor is Olle Holst.



29 participants and 4 co-organicer travelled to our wonderful city to meet 15 friendly and crazy Lund citizens. The arrival day was set to Friday August 7th so at the moment the course have been ongoing for a little over a week.

The weekend started without academic content and was instead used for teambuilding. Activities on the schedule was Lomma beach trip, Viking Party and a City Rally. During the city rally the participants both had the possibility to taste our delicious ice-cream as well as swim in Lundagårds fountain. Which was appreciated both by them and by the spectators.

The lectures started on Monday 10th and have been ongoing througout the week. Climbing, floorball and "brännboll" have been the activities for the evenings and great parties such as international evening, sauna party, 80's night the activities for the nights.

When the first week was over of the course, the group changed location to a scout cabin outside Höör for the weekend. During the Saturday the weather wasn't the best, so the participants got a chance to have some well needed rest. In the afternoon a smaller engineering competition was organised. When the sunset came closer the preparations for All-Year-Round started with baking and cooking. All-Year-Round is a dinner where all swedish traditions during one year is presented and celebrated during one evening and includes everything from Christmas to Midsummer, from Easter to Lucia. Not even the "surströmmings" premiere was excluded.

On Sunday the weather was a bit better and while some of the organisers stayed to clean the cabin, the participants was hiking their way back to Höör. We also stopped for some swimming on the way.
