Deciding on a higher education path requires side-by-side comparisons of programs, duration and professional outcomes. In Auvergne Rhône-Alpes that comparison takes place on 10 October 2026 in Lyon.
Practical details for Salon des Etudes Supérieures de Lyon 2026
The event runs on 10 October 2026 at Eurexpo, Hall 7, from 9h to 17h. Visitor registration is free. The fair is held with the support of the académie de Lyon, the métropole de Lyon and the région Auvergne Rhône-Alpes.
Key figures and participating institutions
The fair brings together 250 institutions offering cycles from Bac to Bac+5. Exhibitors include the universities of Lyon, vocational training centres, BTS programs, IUT units from the academy and specialised schools. That mix allows direct comparison between academic and professional training tracks.
What to expect on the orientation floor
Exhibition stands host admissions officers, faculty and current students for direct exchanges. Visitors can ask about curricula, alternance options, access requirements and routes outside Parcoursup. Informational material covers specific fields and international study pathways.
How to prepare institutional outreach and recruitment
If you represent a training institution or admissions unit, set clear operational goals. Identify priority fields in advance and prepare concise messages about programs, alternance schemes and admission criteria. Have digital materials ready to share and follow up templates for interested contacts.
For recruitment teams, schedule short meetings with local high school guidance staff and university departments. Request the exhibitor list and prioritise meetings by complementary offerings. Focus public messages on employability data and existing partnerships with companies for alternance pathways.
Practical advice for visitors
Study the Hall 7 floorplan and exhibitor list beforehand to make the day efficient. Ask specific questions about admission, duration and fees and collect contact details for follow up. Use the opportunity to compare student and faculty perspectives on workload and campus life.
