As chairperson of the sports committee in 2020, responsible for the partnership with Svenska Akademiska Idrottsförbundet (SAIF), and as a member of Sportstugenämnden Erik Niklasson has done invaluable voluntary work for Medicinska Föreningen.
Before and during his time as chairperson of the sports committee, Erik helped establish weekly activities in the KI gym in Solna; scheduling up to 14 weekly activities for members of the student union. With his welcoming personality Erik also opened up the sports committee to more international students and made everyone feel included.

When COVID-19 affected the lives of all members of MF, Erik put large efforts in maintaining the sports committee’s function as a promotor of physical activity and health within the student body.
Upon high recommendations from the sports committee, the board has decided to award Crux Parva Medicorum to Erik Niklasson.
