About us
Female Network’s aim is to inspire more women to pursue a career within finance. During the school year, we arrange guest lectures, networking events and banking tours with national and international top-firms. Women Business Conference in Lund and Female Banking Tour in Stockholm are our biggest, recurring events. These provide excellent opportunities for women interested in the finance industry and are great forums to expand their professional networks.
Besides arranging events, Female Network aspires to increase the number of female students interested in finance. Therefore, we frequently update our social media with upcoming events and publish other motivating and relevant information. We aim to inspire female students and show what a career within finance could imply.
What unifies Female Network is an interest in finance and a willingness to learn, as well as a motivation to challenge the norms within the industry. Being a part of the network develops your knowledge while simultaneously giving you a chance to interact with like-minded students and expand your network!
Our Recurring Events
WBC – Women Business Conference
The WBC is a yearly event hosted by Female Network where ambitious female students get the chance to meet representatives from some of the largest banks and financial institutions in the Nordic region.
FFP – Female Finance Programme
The Female Finance Program is a collaboration between three of LINC’s committees: Female Network, Research & Analysis and Career Preparation, and is aimed towards female students interested in getting a deeper insight into the world of finance. The program will give all participants a deeper insight into what LINC does, how to best prepare for interviews and a basic understanding of financial analysis. What makes FFP unique is the community it creates.
FBT – Female Banking Tour
Each year Female Network hosts a tour to Stockholm where ambitious students get the chance to meet prominent firms and banks on site. A typical visit includes a short company presentation, a tour of the office and trading floors, advice and tips about the industry, application processes as well as the chance to meet and network with representatives across different divisions.

Head of Female Network
Who are you and what is your role?
My name is Melina Granberg, I am 21 years old and grew up in Piteå. I’m in my second term of studying Economics and have been part of LINC and the R&A programme since my first month in Lund. As previously, I’ll be hosting events for Female Network, supporting new initiatives and working with my amazing committee to make sure that everything runs smoothly. My role also involves ensuring that every woman considering joining R&A or LINC feels confident and supported in making that decision.
What tips would you give girls wanting to get started in finance?
Dare to take up space. I know that finance can be intimidating, partly due to the many misconceptions that exist but also because few like being uncomfortable. Being uncomfortable and putting yourself in situations where you’re not fully confident is, however, essential for growth. The Female Network and LINC as a whole, offer support and knowledge unmatched to any university organisation like it. Our aim is to help girls enter finance, we do not require any prior knowledge, instead we look for drive and ambition. If you consider yourself to be a hardworking person with an interest in finance, give it a try and join the Female Network and LINC!
