Demo session

Aalto demo session 2026

What's the difference between the demo session and the workshops? 

During the workshops, you can attend a lecture or lab session related to the host universities' degree programs. Each workshop lasts 90 minutes, and you can sign up for just one.

At the demo session, you're free to spend as much time as you like at each booth. You can visit all of them or just the ones that catch your eye. Most booths offer hands-on activities.

The demo session is also a great way to explore research groups from the host university and meet our sponsors.
