Action plan to improve Malmö students' living conditions

In the autumn of 2020, the steering group endorsed a new, ambitious action plan that aims to improve students' living conditions.

The action plan is based on a preliminary study where approximately 80 students from all faculties were given the opportunity to give input on how Malmö can become Sweden's best student city.

Since the start of the project, the steering group for Student City Malmö has defined the shared goal of becoming Sweden's best student city. One of the goals included in the vision included was winning the Student City of the Year Award, which is awarded by Sweden's United Student Unions (SFS).
