Samfunnet / Det Akademiske Kvarter

Studentersamfunnet i Bergen is the student house in Bergen and one of Norway's most active cultural venues. Every year, more than 1,500 events are arranged, all run by about 500 volunteer students. We have three bars that are entirely volunteer-operated as well as countless groups that cover students' different interests and needs. Samfunnet is a meeting place for students across Bergen, whether it is for morning coffee or a late night out.

Samfunnet is a merger of Kvarteret and Samfunnet i Bergen. We are still in the same place as always, in the same building called Det Akademiske Kvarter. As a student in Bergen, becoming a volunteer at Samfunnet is a fantastic way to leave your mark on student life.

Sound, lights and production
