More about YWC

"Young Women’s Conference Luxembourg" aims to inspire and encourage young women (aged 12-19) to consider careers in STEM fields by providing direct engagement with professionals, hands-on experiences and interactive career panels.
The event, planned as a one-day experience on 19th March 2026 at the Belval campus, will include an engaging and interactive format featuring two inspirational keynote speeches, exhibitors, booths, career panels and a living library where young participants take the lead. We are also planning to provide language support through interpreters and structuring career panels in multiple languages.
YWC Luxembourg is for girls and young women who are 12-19 years old.
If you are a teacher, register your school/student class.
If you are involved in STEM, you can be an exhibitor or panelist.

YWC Luxembourg is going to take place in Belval Campus, Esch-Sur-Alzette.
