About Ställverket

Ställverket is a section within the Umeå Student Union of Nature and Technology (NTK) of Umeå University. The section consists of those who have paid their NTK student membership fee and who study within one of the study programmes or one-year courses at Umeå Institute of Design. Through Ställverket, student representatives are elected for the UID Department Board and other strategic working groups at UID. The student representatives take part in the work groups to help develop the school, and to contribute with the students' perspective. The student representatives do not only represent themselves or their class, but all students at UID. In order for them to do so, all UID students should actively aid them with input and issues to bring up at the different group meetings.
