It may be ordered via the Bildmuseet website as well.

Effective 1 March 2015, Umeå University will be affiliated with the "Enklare pensionshantering" service of the National Government Employee Pensions Board (SPV). This means that support and personal guidance previously provided by the Office of Human Resources will be transferred to SPV. Questions regarding your government employee pension and occupational group life insurance should be given directly to SPV. The objective of this change is to improve the effectivization of the university administration.
