About the Archipelago 

Arkipelago Sweden is the umbrella term for the collaboration launched in spring 2011 between architecture programmes in Lund, Karlskrona, Gothenburg, Stockholm and Umeå, with the Swedish Association of Architects as the main partner. The aim is to create different types of high-quality meeting places between students, companies and organisations linked to the profession. In addition to lectures, mingle events and workshops, Arkipelago holds annual labour market days in each city. These fairs are our main events and have become the most important meeting place between students and the industry.
