The Kalas event

Kalas is an event for all students at Linköping University. The event aims to welcome new students to LiU but, of course, all students are welcome. Are you a student? Visit the student intranet Liunet student (link) for information regarding opening hours, what happens during Kalas and practical information. You need to log in with your LiU-ID to be able to access the information.

The Kalas event is carried out by LiU in association with Linköping Municipality, Norrköping Municipality and Region Östergötland.

In 2025 Kalas turned 20, we celebrated by collaborating with Bonfire Festival and Kårservice.

STUDENTS

You should definitely visit Kalasmottagningen because it’s:

• A golden opportunity to meet a wide range of student associations, companies, and organisations. Just to give you an idea – in 2025, we had over 75 student associations and more than 50 organisations, businesses, and LiU-related initiatives present.
• A rare chance to grab everything from pasta and soft ice cream to pens and stickers – all for free!
• And that’s not all – the evening programme! In 2025, there were two options: student discounts and perks at the Bonfire Festival and/or a themed party night at Kårhuset Kollektivet.

We don’t yet know what Kalasmottagningen 2026 will look like, but what we do know is that we’ll do everything we can to make it an unforgettable experience. Welcome!

COMPANIES AND ORGANISATIONS

If you're looking to reach thousands of students, this could be the perfect platform for you. We're driven by the desire to give students a taste of student life and what lies ahead. Our focus has always been to create the most exciting day possible for our students – and we’d love to do that together with you. Welcome!
