Boost Your Studies with Study Boost!
Need a little extra study motivation? During the week of November 3–7, the University Library invites you to Study Boost – a week filled with inspiration, support, and smart tools to make your studies easier and more enjoyable.
The program includes everything from workshops on study techniques, academic writing, and reading strategies to an AI quiz, book recommendations, and mindfulness sessions. You can also get personal guidance, join a mini book circle, or find the perfect database for your studies.
All activities take place at the University Library in both Kalmar and Växjö, and you’re welcome to join as many as you like.

Take a break from studying
The Ironwomen Soundrun is a piece of art you can experience on campus. You are welcome to walk or run through this work of art. The work makes it clear that most things around us have a rhythm – and that our hearing has a unique ability to perceive microscopic changes, while keeping track of major events. Scan the QR code on the 1st floor in Kalmar to experience the artwork.

Take a break from studying
Take the Yellow Line. Encountering art means giving yourself time – to pause, reflect, and allow yourself to be enriched. It is a journey that can lead to new knowledge, new perspectives, and inspiration. Maps are available at the University Library, at the 1st floor.
