On 26 March 2026, the 29th edition of the Jagiellonian University Job Fairs took place. And although it is always a special event, this year it was even more exceptional because the JU Careers Service – the organizer of the Job Fairs – is celebrating its twenty‑fifth anniversary! The spring edition of the Fairs once again took place in person and was held at the Jagiellonian University’s Auditorium Maximum. The event was officially opened by the Rector of Jagiellonian University, Prof. Dr Hab. Piotr Jedynak.
A total of 39 exhibitors took part in the Fairs, including companies, institutions, and JU units. Participants also had the opportunity to benefit from CV consultations conducted by HR experts and career advisors, as well as to attend five expert lectures presenting various career paths both during and after studies.
We would like to thank all company and institution representatives, speakers, and participants for their presence and engagement. Although the rather un‑spring‑like weather tried to spoil the atmosphere, it absolutely did not succeed, thanks to you — and the full halls of the Auditorium Maximum during the event were undeniable proof of that!
