Read more about the day's programme on this page!
Morning talks
Every event begins with talks by professionals in the field of technology. Women working in the industry open the event by telling about their own careers and perspectives on the field. In addition to the keynote speaker, each campus invites 4 speakers to tell their own growth story.
Afternoon workshops
In the afternoon, you get to explore the universities' fields of education and research through hands-on activities. In the workshops, you get to peek into the world of researchers and students, and to try, do, and discover for yourself! During the day, the event's collaboration partners' technological products and innovations are also on display.
Study fair
At the fair, there is an opportunity to meet students and student organizations from different technology studies programmes at the universities, as well as representatives of collaborators. You can ask for more information about the university application process, studying, student life and hobbies, and career opportunities!
Catering
During the day, we offer all participants lunch and dinner. Lunch is served after the morning talks, and dinner in connection with the study fair. The meals are free for all participants.
Campus-specific programmes
The more detailed schedules, workshops, and other programme contents vary by campus.
The campus-specific programs are published annually in the autumn at the same time as the event's participant application opens in October. We publish the campus-specific programs and schedules on this website.
