If you want to visit a unit, you should turn to the Head of Office. You’ll find a list of all units at: Departments and units
When reaching out to a department or unit, you should specify the intention with your visit, your professional fields of interest and the time frame for your visit. As a rule, most staff are off work during the month of July due to summer holiday, which means it is normally easier to host a visitor during the semesters. Autumn semester usually occurs from September to January and the spring semester from January to June.
Find accommodation
If you and the department or unit agree on a visit you will need to look for accommodation. What’s suitable depends on for how long you will stay in Umeå. For longer visits you can find more information here on the wepage Finding a home. If it is only for a couple of days or week, you may be best off with a hotel or hostel.
