SANT works to create networks and meeting places for anthropologists and organizes, amongst other things, an annual conference (including the annual meeting of SANT). The hosting of the annual conference circulates between different universities in the country, sometimes in collaboration with our sister associations in the Nordic countries. Information about the upcoming conference 27-29 April 2023 in Stockholm is found here.

Beside the conference SANT also organizes other activities. Explore past and upcoming activities here.
