Trade fairs and conferences

The bonding Firmenkontaktmesse (engl.: company contact fair) in Braunschweig will open its doors again in 2026! From June 16 to 18, 2026, students and graduates will meet numerous companies and institutions from a wide range of industries, particularly engineering, economics, and natural sciences, on the campus of the Technical University of Braunschweig. Around 100 exhibitors will provide exciting insights into everyday working life, highlight career prospects, and exchange ideas with potential young talent.

The trade show offers students an excellent platform to make personal contacts, ask specific questions about career opportunities, and actively prepare for their entry into professional life.

In addition to company presentations, participants can once again expect a varied supporting program. This includes free professional application photos, individual feedback on application documents from experts, a job wall with current job vacancies and direct application opportunities, specialist lectures, career counseling, and the Studicafé with snacks and further information on the projects of the bonding Studieninitiative e.V.

Fraunhofer IST will also be there again in 2026 and looks forward to speaking with everyone interested in person.

The institute will be on site on June 17, 2026.

At Fraunhofer IST, we are looking for committed and curious students who would like to work with us on sustainable solutions for surfaces and coatings for future-proof products and production systems. We offer a wide range of opportunities, from student projects and theses to student research assistant positions and career entry in science, administration, or IT.

We look forward to seeing you there!
