Young Scientists Congress 2026 until
In spring 2026, the Jungforschenden Congress in Dresden will take place. We warmly invite you to connect with others and broaden your horizons through a diverse program full of exciting insights into globally operating companies and cutting-edge research.
When and where?
The 26th Jungforschenden Congress will take place from March 25 to March 29, 2026, in Dresden. In addition, excursions to Leipzig and Freiberg are planned. The congress starts on Wednesday afternoon and ends on Sunday afternoon after five days packed with activities, ensuring that all participants can travel home safely.
Who?
You! We warmly invite all students, pupils aged 16 and older, doctoral candidates, and young professionals with an interest in science, technology, or entrepreneurship to take part in the congress.
What?
From Wednesday evening to Sunday midday, we offer a diverse program consisting of lectures, workshops, and site visits. On Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, participants will have the opportunity to join excursions to exciting companies and research institutions in Dresden, Freiberg, and Leipzig.
Whether your interests lie in future energy systems, high-performance materials, modern mobility, biomedical research, chemical engineering, supercomputing, or the high-tech industry in Silicon Saxony – the congress offers a broad range of fascinating insights into current research and its practical applications through its excursions. Science can be experienced not only theoretically, but firsthand in laboratories, production facilities, and large-scale research infrastructures in Dresden, as well as during excursions to Leipzig and Freiberg.
On Saturday, the Market of Opportunities with Start-up Day will take place, followed by the annual general meeting of juFORUM e.V. Between all these events, there will be plenty of opportunities to network and make new contacts. And of course, a closing celebration is not to be missed!
Accommodation is provided at the Jugendherberge Jugendgästehaus Dresden, which also serves as the starting point for excursions for participants who are not staying overnight.
