What is Fullmäktige?

What is Fullmäktige?

Fullmäktige (FuM) /The Student Union Council (FuM) is the highest decision-making body of Medicinska Föreningen (MF). FuM is made up of MF members who together make the most important decisions within MF, such as adopting the operational plan, budget, and strategic decisions that affect all members and students at KI, as well as electing key positions within MF.

FuM consists of up to 23 members. A new FuM is elected annually in October, with the term of office running from November to November. 12 of the 23 seats are reserved for section representatives, while the remaining seats are filled through the general election, i.e. the Union Election. To lead FuM meetings, there is a presidium consisting of the Speaker, the Deputy Speaker, and the Secretary.

Why should I candidate?

Influence what happens at MF – for real! Being a member of FuM means that you:

  • decide about strategic issues that affect all members
  • decide about the budget and activity plan for entire MF
  • learn more about how MF works
  • elect President, Vice President, Board and other central positions of trust within MF
  • elect the student representatives to represent all students in central bodies at KI
  • meet senior students and students from other educations at KI that you can learn a lot from and exchange experiences with
  • get valuable experience for your future and get really good merits for your CV and for exchange studies!

What is expected of me?

  1. Participate in FuM meetings about three times per semester (in the evenings, except for the inaugural meeting), approximately 2–3 hours per meeting.
  2. Read meeting documents (decision material etc.) in preparation for the meetings and take part in the decisions made during them. All documents are in Swedish, and you are therefore expected to have a sufficient level of Swedish to understand the matters being discussed. To be a member of FuM, you need to be a student member of MF, i.e. study at KI and be a member of MF. Become a member here.
