The Academic Society is a non-profit organization of students and teachers at Lund University. The Academic Society, established in 1830,[2] hosts many cultural and social activities in Lund. These include lectures, theatrical performances, public debates and musical entertainment.

The organization's main task is to honor freedom of speech. A Studentafton can take various forms. Debates, concerts and talks are all common.
