Systemvetardagen 2026

Systemvetardagen returns to Kista on 18 February, marking 30 years as a student-led career fair focused on IT. The day brings together companies, organisations and students to explore skills needs, career paths and the future of the IT profession. 

Organised entirely by students at the Department of Computer and Systems Sciences (DSV) through the student union DISK, the fair is free to attend and requires no prior registration. 

Throughout the day, exhibitors and students meet to build connections and discuss future career opportunities within IT. The programme also includes lectures with invited speakers, offering perspectives on technology, competence development and working life in the sector.
