Who is eligible for accommodation?

Guest researchers

The procedure for bringing guest researchers to Lund varies between departments. The host department will need to verify that the guest is indeed in Sweden as a guest researcher.

If a guest receives a wage from, or holds a position at, Lund University, they need to fit the criteria that govern postdoctoral researchers as outlined below. If they do not fit these criteria, they will not be eligible for accommodation through LU Accommodation.

Before making a booking request, the host department needs to assess whether the researcher is a guest researcher or not. As part of submitting the request, the department affirms that the guest fulfils the criteria above.
