Description:

On March 26 at 9:00 a.m., the Engineering Student Council, with the support of the management of the UAB School of Engineering, is organising the twelfth edition of "MEMEnginy 2026". This technology and engineering fair, which will take place at the School of Engineering itself, will bring together the business community and young talent from the Vallès region. Nearly 1,500 participants have registered, who will have the opportunity to interact with around 80 entities.

The event's main purpose is to connect students involved with the technological and industrial sector through conferences, networking activities and around 1,000 quick interviews scheduled throughout the day. The young students come from engineering degrees (computer science, electronics, telecommunications, data, AI and chemistry) and other specialised degrees such as computational mathematics, bioinformatics, business and technology, and interactive communication.

One of the innovative elements in this year's edition is the MEMEnginy HUB programme, which allows to connect the preferences of students and the demand of companies. It will also include the HP Inclusión MEME Impulse application, aimed at facilitating job insertion for neurodivergent students, as well as the presentation of a report from the Observatory of the School of Engineering on the work motivations of future engineers. Xavier Roca, vice-dean of the School of Engineering for Communication and Promotion of Entities, highlights the importance of the students in their professional growth, the challenges that arise and the possibility of being part of a positive work environment.
