Meet the Entrepreneurship Committee…
What do you want to be when you grow up? I doubt your answer was entrepreneur; I know mine was not. Yet here I am, president of LundaEkonomerna’s Entrepreneurship Committee, writing an article about entrepreneurship and wanting to become nothing else. What happened? Have any of the phrases ”Why hasn’t anyone thought of this?”, ”I…
Bracing for Brexit
Last year’s Greek acceptance of the ECB bailout package was far from the end of turmoil within the EU. Once more, a referendum on EU membership will be held, and this time the potential impact is substantially larger. On June 23rd Great Britain’s be, or not to be, in the European Union will be put…
Editorial #126
Taking over after Axel, the previous editor in chief, has been, not to say the least, a great challenge. Although I was prepared to have a lot more to do, trying to balance my schoolwork and Lundtan has been rather tough. Those of you who have studied NEK B are probably familiar with the state…
Uppsalaekonomerna’s Vice President visits Nådiga Lundtan
Life. Rewarding, pleasant and loving or long, hard and painful? There are many ways to look upon life. My belief is that we all change our perspective depending on where in life we find ourselves at the moment. Sometimes life is cheerful and other times not as much.

Uppsalaekonomerna’s President visits Nådiga Lundtan

Alumni: Björn Hellqvist
What did your student life look like? ”When I came to Lund, I was quite frankly overwhelmed by the amount of people that wanted to be involved in all of Lund’s organizations.

Interview with Jesper Sundström – eee
Tell me about eee! ”This year is the 32nd edition of the eee-days – as you might know, significantly older than LundaEkonomerna! It is the largest career fair for business, economics and IT-students in the Nordic region! We host about 80 companies that are coming to EC to meet our 4 000 students.” What is…
Everything is Relative – Part 2
In the previous issue, Nådiga Lundtan #124, I wrote about change and the difference between absolute and relative gains. If you measure your well-being in comparison to your neighbor, rather than looking at your own progress in isolation, you are looking at relative gains. This point of view can be extended to society, companies and…
