Hi there  
I am new in Lund, Sweden; starting a PhD in Mathematical Statistics.  
I am curious if there exists a Julia community in Lund.  
Thanks in advance.

There are Julia Meetups in Copenhagen. Not that far away.

Answering only for my view of LU: People exist, but not quite a community.  
While there have been courses, seminars and presentations at internal workshops, there are no regularly scheduled activities, and no active forum that I am aware of.

Getting in contact with Kristian Soltesz would be a good starting point. He has been involved in all organized Julia activities at LU that I am aware of, and has also had an interest in enabling an LU-internal community forum.
