GADDEN is the largest career fair within the Nordic region for business, economics, law, logistics and environmental science studies. This event takes place annually at the School of Business, Economics and Law at the University of Gothenburg and has been growing constantly since the first fair took place in 1982.
This year’s fair will be held on the 8-9th of November 2023 and will lead to the exchange of exciting and valuable knowledge as well as new acquaintances, and our main focus has always been to build a bridge between education and employment. GADDEN is the largest project of the student union, HHGS, with the aim of establishing a line of mutually beneficial communication between students and potential employers. In addition, we strive to nurture long lasting relationships for mutual future growth.
During these two days about 100 companies and organizations can meet some of Sweden’s top students in business, economics, law, logistics and environmental science. Here, the students and companies have the opportunity to learn more about each other and discuss future opportunities. GADDEN also offers interesting lectures on contemporary subjects with talented lecturers and we are proud to present and introduce you to our 8 000 ambitious students, eager to meet representatives from both Swedish and international companies.

Theme of GADDEN 2022
We were taught in the past years how to embrace our opportunities and create a brighter future even in times of crisis. As changes lie ahead of us we need to capture every moment. As we have seen over the past few years, changes can occur at any moment, and they can happen fast. If we always wait for tomorrow until we act, we might miss the opportunities we get. Each challenge we overcome, we gain new knowledge and evolve as people. Now it is time to put this new knowledge to use!
