About us
Every year, UPF Lund organizes two trips–one short and one long–to places of political interest all around the world. Earlier trips had destinations such as Washington D.C., Colombia, Cairo and Athens to name but a few. On a typical UPF trip, there are abundant meetings with relevant actors of political and cultural interest.
All of our trips are planned commonly by the members of the committee. That way, everyone can bring forth their own ideas, views and particular interests. The members of the travel committee are selected for different tasks. These include organizing flights and transfers, booking meetings and applying for scholarships.
Heads of Travel
Liam Jelmhag
Hey!
My name is Liam, and together with Irma I am in charge of the Travel Committee!
I was previously involved in the committee in their trip to Tunis last year, liked it alot, and therefore applied to become a head and board member for this operational year.
I am originally from Stockholm, but have spent time studying in the USA, New Zealand, Kenya and France before moving to Lund for my bachelors in international business!
Apply for a trip!
Irma Cucevic
Hi!
I am Irma and I’m the new Head of Travel for the operational year of 2024-2025, I am thrilled to be joining the UPF team this year and looking forward to our upcoming trips!
Previously, I did my bachelor’s in Human Rights, here in Lund – where I embarked on both an exchange semester and an internship in Zagreb, Croatia. During the summer right before my now master’s in European studies, I lived and studied in Barcelona to perfect my Spanish. I am and have always been interested in foreign affairs and all things international relations, during my bachelors I wrote two theses regarding foreign affairs and policy – one about the policy and law developments before and after 9/11 and the second one about Serbias integration and policy reforms to join the EU.
I am more than excited to contribute to this team and I believe that my past experiences have equipped and prepared me well for the role of Head of Travel.
Hoping to see you on our trips, safe flights!
