EURES schedules Boost Your Career 2026 fair

EURES has opened registration for “Boost Your Career with EURES 2026,” an online recruitment event scheduled for October 20 on the European Job Days platform. The event is aimed at jobseekers and job changers from EU and EEA countries and covers openings in technology, life sciences and engineering, according to the event page. (europeanjobdays.eu) The listing says candidates can apply for roles tied to employers in Cyprus, Estonia, Finland, Ireland, Portugal, Spain and Switzerland. Registration is free for jobseekers, and the page says interviews may continue through October 27. ### Which life-sciences candidates is this event built for? The European Job Days listing says the event is designed to connect employers in “future-focused industries” with jobseekers across Europe. (europeanjobdays.eu) Life sciences appears alongside MedTech, pharmaceuticals and biopharma, which places the fair squarely in the pool of candidates looking for lab, technician, manufacturing support and related early-career roles rather than only academic research posts. The event page does not break out life-sciences vacancies by specialty yet, but it says registered users can upload a CV in advance and apply directly to jobs advertised for the fair. Employers can then review applications and invite candidates to online interviews on the same platform. (europeanjobdays.eu) ### What does the platform already show about scale? The event page showed 18 employers participating and three jobs available when it was crawled on September 8. The same page says registration status is “Open for employers only,” while jobseekers are invited to register, create an account, upload a CV and monitor openings tied to the event. (europeanjobdays.eu) Those figures can change as the event approaches. The listing also says the fair is a joint European event organized with several countries, including Cyprus, Estonia, Finland, Ireland, Portugal, Switzerland and Spain. (europeanjobdays.eu) ### How does a candidate actually use it? The European Job Days page says the process starts before the event date. Candidates are asked to register in advance, upload a CV and apply for suitable jobs posted under the event. Employers review those applications and can send interview invitations through the dashboard or by email. (europeanjobdays.eu) On October 20, the platform will also host presentations and talks by sector experts, employers and EURES advisers, according to the event description. The page says users can chat online with employers and exhibitors and ask questions during Q&A sessions after presentations. (europeanjobdays.eu) ### Why is EURES the organizer here? EURES runs as the European jobs network tied to cross-border labor mobility in Europe, and the European Commission’s employment department says EU employment policy includes support for citizens moving to another member state or finding work. That makes the fair a mobility-focused recruitment channel rather than a single-country graduate hiring event. (europeanjobdays.eu) The event contact listed on the page is eures@welfare.ie, indicating Ireland’s EURES office is one of the named organizers in the cross-country setup. The page also includes links for account creation, registration and calendar reminders. (europeanjobdays.eu) ### What should applicants watch between now and October 20? October 20 is the main event date, but the page says interviews can take place from October 20 to October 27. That gives applicants a one-week window after the fair opens in which employer outreach may continue. The next practical step is on the European Job Days event page, where candidates can register, upload a CV and track newly posted roles from participating employers in life sciences, engineering and technology.
