The traditional Student Fair (Studentefoire), organised by Luxembourg's Ministry of Higher Education and Research in close collaboration with the ACEL student organisation, will take place on the site of the Belval campus of the University of Luxembourg on Thursday 26 and Friday 27 October 2023.

During these two days, visitors will have the opportunity to learn about higher education and student life from more than 100 exhibitors present on site. They can interact directly with representatives of universities and higher education establishments as well as with student organisations.

Students will also have the opportunity to speak with representatives of the Ministry of Higher Education and Research who will guide them in their procedure and provide information, for instance regarding financial aid.

At the same time, various sectoral presentations will take place live on site.

The face-to-face fair will be supplemented by a digital platform bringing together not only the exhibitors physically present in Esch-Belval, but also other "virtual" exhibitors. On this platform, exhibitors will have the opportunity to present themselves, in particular via pre-recorded videos, and to provide visitors with downloadable documents. Interactive webinars will be broadcast on the platform for the duration of the fair and will remain available in replay mode after the fair.

The digital platform will already be accessible one week before the fair itself (i.e. from 18 October 2023) to allow secondary school students to prepare themselves ahead of their visit to Esch-Belval. The platform will remain fully open until 5 January 2024.

Further details are set to follow.
