The collaboration is working to better the cooperation between its participants, and to create structural permanent changes that will develop Trondheim as a student city. The collaboration is also a facilitator for knowledge and idea development.
Through this collaboration, the participants wish to work for safer and more economical student housing, improved student health, better framework conditions for student volunteers and international students, a more vibrant and attractive city campus, as well as a closer link between the students and the region’s work and business community.
Better connection between students and the region's work and business - more attractive study city, even in the summer!
The vast majority of students need to work in the summer and want to get a summer job from early in the study that can provide relevant work experience. At the same time, summer jobs are a great way for businesses to get in touch with students. A summer job can lead to part-time work, task collaboration and is a good starting point for gaining new skills. In order to increase the amount of relevant summer jobs, the region is therefore invited through this project for a felles dugnad.
Career days have been conducted with special focus on summer jobs, breakfast meetings, advertisements and media articles. A collaboration has also been established with the arbeidsplassen.no to connect the educational institutions' career portals.
Students' Health and Well-Being Survey 2018 shows that only 55% of students are satisfied with the kollektivtilbudet. In addition, we know that the students equally walk or cycle. This is why StudyTrondheim has chosen to focus on mobility in the study city.
Among other things, we have established a long-awaited shortcut to Dødens dal, created a student night bus service during fadderperioden, conducted a travel habits survey among all the students in Trondheim and worked with Atb for a better bus service during the exam period. In the spring of 2020, we will notice sidewalks with walking prompts in and near the campus and we are working to realize better lighting during the winter when students travel. The project is characterized by extensive cooperation between the Environmental Package, Atb, student organizations, Trondheim municipality, Sit and the educational institutions and others.
- a positive force for the individual student and the student community.

In order to welcome students who have not managed to find accommodation at the start of their studies, Trondheim guarantees “Tak Over Hodet”. This is a collaboration with Scandic Lerkendal where students can stay for a cheap fee until they have found more permanent accommodation.
The network focuses on inclusion and organizes Info Night twice a year. Here, international students are joined by the fantastic student volunteerism, which has great honor that Trondheim is a truly unique student city.
This is an award given by the students in the volunteer group. Here, good examples of inclusion are highlighted. The prize is NOK 20,000, which is earmarked for inclusive measures.
Previous winners are Studenterhytta and the line association Delta.
For many years, it has been a desire of the students to get a night bus service during the weekdays during fadderperioden. This was tested out by StudyTrondheim in 2019, with great success and became a permanent offer for students to come home safely during fadderuka. The measure is in cooperation with Faddervaktordningen.
Studentfrivillighetsgruppa is a network group for student volunteers in Trondheim. Here, important topics and common issues that the students want to focus on are highlighted. The group, together with the steering group in StudyTrondheim, decides what the network should work with.
The Student Volunteer Group can also raise important issues for the students to the steering group where all the major players in the study city sit.
