Student Fair 2026: 40th edition at the Coque with over 180 exhibitors from 17 countries and an expanded concept

On Thursday 29 and Friday 30 October 2026, the Coque in Luxembourg-Kirchberg will host the 40th edition of the Student Fair (Studentefoire), organised by the Ministry of Research and Higher Education in close cooperation with ACEL (Association des cercles d'étudiants luxembourgeois).

This anniversary edition marks a new chapter for the Studentefoire, with a new venue and a broader scope. After several editions held at the University of Luxembourg's Belval campus, the Student Fair is moving to the Coque this year, where it will take place in the Arcades area, offering visitors a setting better suited to this growing event.

While guidance on higher education opportunities in Luxembourg and abroad remains at the heart of the event, the Student Fair 2026 is broadening its scope to include career prospects, opportunities for youth engagement and personal development.

With over 180 exhibitors from 17 countries, visitors will be able to explore a diverse range of opportunities across four main areas: "Studying in Luxembourg", "Studying Abroad", "Youth Engagement" and "World of Work".

Alongside universities and higher education institutions from Luxembourg and abroad, associations and student societies, the fair will welcome more representatives from various professional sectors, professional associations, businesses and organisations offering opportunities for engagement in formal, non-formal and informal settings.

The aim is to enable young people to find out not only about the various study programmes available, but also about professions, career opportunities and the many options open to them as they plan their educational, personal and professional futures.

Throughout the two-day event, school pupils, prospective and current students, parents and anyone interested will have the opportunity to speak directly with exhibitors, ask questions and receive advice tailored to their plans.

Visitors will also be able to obtain information from the Ministry of Research and Higher Education's services, particularly the Higher Education Information Service and the Financial Aid Service, which will provide personalised guidance on higher education, enrolment procedures and State financial aid.

• Thursday 29 October 2026: 9 am to 6 pm
