konaktiva Darmstadt

| Student Career Fair | regional Fair

The konaktiva is one of the largest student-organized career fairs in Germany and offers a hands-on platform for direct interaction between companies and emerging talent. The name combines the words “Kontakt” (contact) and “aktiv” (active) – a reflection of its core mission: to actively support students and graduates in building professional networks and shaping their careers. Each year, the konaktiva opens its doors at the Darmstadtium, a modern science and congress center located in the heart of Darmstadt.

The fair is organized by AG konaktiva GbR, a dedicated group of students from the Technical University of Darmstadt. With great commitment and full responsibility, they manage to create one of the country’s most prominent recruiting platforms.

At the heart of the konaktiva is career orientation. Students from a wide range of disciplines – especially IT, engineering, natural sciences, and business – meet companies of all sizes. Digitalization and technological innovation play a key role. Many exhibitors showcase forward-looking solutions and are specifically looking for talents eager to shape the digital future alongside them. To prepare participants for their visit, the “summer warm up” program offers free workshops, lectures, and one-on-one coaching sessions.

A special feature of the fair is the opportunity for students to act as company ambassadors during the event. This enables more in-depth conversations and fosters lasting connections. Moreover, being part of the organizing team provides valuable practical experience in project management, communication, and event planning – benefits that extend well beyond the fair itself.

Whether you're looking for an internship, thesis opportunity, direct entry position, or trainee program – konaktiva opens targeted paths into professional life and even offers the chance to conduct job interviews directly on-site.

The venue, Darmstadtium, is not only an architectural landmark but also conveniently accessible – whether by bus, train, or on foot from the nearby central station. Situated in a city known for research, technology, and innovation, konaktiva is more than a career fair – it's a launchpad for the future.

The konaktiva in Darmstadt took place from Tuesday, 06. May to Thursday, 08. May 2025.
