Navitas Student Association is a non-profit student organization founded in 2010. Navitas aims to create a social forum for those who are curious and interested in sustainability. Navitas goal is to give all our members the opportunity to learn more about sustainability in a warm, fun and social environment. Members should get a natural sustainable mindset that spreads to the individual, business and society.
Our goal is to gather sustainability passionate students to inspire each other, other students, and organizations.
These are some ways in which we work towards that goal:

We have many exciting events during the year. Everything from lunch lectures to yearly events like Global Weeks and a big sustainable trip!
Some of our previous destinations are Reykjavik, Amsterdam, Copenhagen and Malmö!
We love to explore sustainable ways of traveling and last year we went to BERLIN!!
In A-huset down the stairs at entrance 19 you will find LiU Student Secondhand, a store where students at LiU can both buy and sell furniture and other items.
Navitas presents the Global Weeks in collaboration with other student associations and Linköping Municipality's Global Linköping. Global Weeks and Global Linköping aim to get people more interested and committed to global development by highlighting global and local connections.
